Fun with wombats and ice cream for Souther 2025

Happy Souther, the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Summer Solstice, a holiday created by John Michael Greer, who also designated the wombat as the animal mascot. Since the first Souther fell on National Ice Cream Day and usually occurs during July, National Ice Cream Month, the food for today is ice cream. I managed to find a cartoon wombat trying to get an ice cream cone to a friend in Chutes and Ladders | Work It Out Wombats! on PBS KIDS.

Sammy is sick and in need of ice cream! Can his best friend Malik travel across the Treeborhood before the cold treat melts?
I've found a cartoon for Souther just like Grizzy & the Lemmings for Norther, another fake holiday Greer created. Yay! More relevant content!

The fake holiday even has a theme song, "Ice Cream" by The Wombats. Watch The Wombats "Ice cream" @ Le Trabendo Paris - 05/02/2019.


That concludes today's celebration of a fake holiday. The next fake holiday is Wester, which inspired Greer to create both Souther and Norther, on October 12th. In the meantime, stay tuned for Bastille Day, the third patriotic holiday I celebrate during July.
