Celebrate

Celebrate is an often misused word in the modern lexicon. I use the word in the traditional sense, meaning at some point champagne will be involved. Like sports teams that celebrate championships with champagne. I'm not athletically inclined, so I tend to drink it instead of spraying it on teammates but we both celebrate with champagne.

Compare this to people who want to celebrate diversity or empowerment, or community. At those celebrations there may be some warmed over hot dish or stale cake if you're lucky but certainly no champagne. Believe me I've looked.

Celebrate should always mean champagne, not face painting.
