"When we celebrate something, when we gather convivially, festively, to honor a person and an occasion, we are declaring with our hearts and time — with ourselves — that we are part of something larger than ourselves. …Parties are not mere fun, a pause for entertainment. Not at all. Celebrations are required for culture, and what a culture celebrates signals its priorities and desires."
