365 Writing Prompts: Festivus for the rest of us

You have been named supreme ruler of the universe. Your first order of business  is creating and instituting a holiday or festival in your honor. What day of the year is your holiday? Describe Your Day in as great a detail you can muster : The special foods we’ll consume, the decorations we’ll use —everything.

I am thrilled to know I am named as the supreme ruler of the universe. I want to let the people decide the day that is best for them to proclaim as a holiday.

Once the decision is unanimous I along with the citizens will  draw up a plan, how the day should be celebrated.

On the morning of the holiday the towns,cities, and boroughs will be provided with sufficient financial aid to bear the cost of decoration, kids would be invited to do some artwork as one of the decorations, these will then be be pasted on the pillars and walls of the community.

It will be a day when men women and children will be encouraged to wear their finest clothes and sing happy songs of celebration.

There will be a variety of foods representing all the nations of the world, steak, butter chicken, ham, fish of all kinds prepared by the best chefs will be served.

Dessert will range from Ice cream of all flavors to cakes, pies, laddu, halwa, ras gulla and other delectable items will be served.

At the end of the day all the citizens will be given enough money for one week to do whatever they want.

This is what I think will make everyone happy.

DP Daily Prompt: Pace Oddity

If you could slow down an action that usually zooms by, or speed up an event that normally drags on , which would you choose, and why?

I don’t mind going to parties hosted by friends every now and then, what is irritating about the ones I’m invited to seems to drag on.

Most people in my group of friends have no respect for time, if they are invited for a 6 pm dinner they show up at eight or even later, the hosts wait for every last person to serve the meal, then there is the practice of serving the men and children first and the women after the said people are taken care of.

I went to one once the time given was 6 pm but the guests started arriving after eight, by the time everyone was in, it was after 9;30 pm. I felt the time was dragging on, the hostess kept the food in the oven to keep it warm.

When finally the dinner was served at close to 10 pm in groups, the last group i.e the women were served at almost eleven o clock.

I always respect the time given, I had to wait for close to five hours to be served, by then the food was not fresh, the salad was not fit to eat as it happened to be what was left over after the previous group finished their meal.

I like the food to be served at the time given and everyone i.e men women and children should be served at the same time!
