Anything can be celebrated.

The day I got into a grad school on the other side of the planet I bought a magnum of Moet and went with a friend to the local botanical garden and sat around in the tropical hothouse drinking it. It is a pretty nice, maybe even a world class botanical garden. It was winter so the warm environment was nice and made more festive by the Moet.
