January 20 - Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day



It’s quite difficult to celebrate this holiday in Houston because few of us own snowplows. The point of the holiday is painfully self-explanatory, but if you need some further explanation, here it is:

You get behind the wheel of a snowplow, preferably in a suburban or rural area, and maniacally drive around hitting other people's mailboxes.

It's guaranteed to be loads of winter fun. Extra points if you can avoid an arraignment!

Note:
We do not endorse the destruction of  property, and you should remember that mailboxes are government property. So please, do not seriously celebrate Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day.
