Florgenspickle

Florgenspickle, also sometimes spelled Florgenspickel, is a festive holiday in Vandistan held annually on 7 January. The holiday serves as a celebratory end to the Christmas season in Vandistan, and is marked by residents throwing lumps of coal at each other. The exact reason for the beginning of the practice is unknown, however the holiday originated in Vandiini communities in the early 1900s, when coal mining was the sole industry in Spitzbergen.
Florgenspickle was officially recognized as a public holiday through an act of the third session of the Eighth Parliament passed on 3 January 2024.
