Happy Berchtoldstag!


    Well, I'm a day late on wishing this (Berchtoldstag is celebrated on 02 January), mostly cuz I didn't open my 2014 wall calendar ("Bunny Suicides") until today.

    My calendar tells me Berchtoldstag is a Swiss holiday.  The Wikipedia entry for it tells me how they celebrate (including dressing up, as seen above), but not why.  But I have friends in Switzerland, and I'm hoping they will enlighten me.  Stay tuned.
