#Garfjam Ends Dec 25th and You're Ok with That.

Take a break from your multi-task'd life and make a Garfgame on Dec 25th. Only good can come of this. None of that Odie stuff.


Garfjam Is Odie Upon Us

Have you lasagna’d recently? I hope you didn’t Monday at the same time. Touch hands with the person to your right. Keep breathing yes. Oh gosh that’s a lot to worry about.

Garfday Is the Only Holiday for Me

All other holidays are fake. Science week is fake. Tortoise Day is fake. Time Cube is fake. Festivus is fake. Celebrate the real holiday, Garfday, from Dec 18 to Dec 25th by participating in the traditional Garfday game jam and by making a traditional Garfday game.

Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Pay attention to Garfield. Pay attention to Garfday. Participate in #Garfjam.
Repeat the classic Children’s rhyme:

		
			Remember, remember! 

The twenty-fifth of December, 

The Garfield, Odies, and Jon; 

I know of no reason 

Why the Garfday celebration 

Should ever be Monday!

(at this point, please throw your frozen lasagna out of a window, preferably without breaking anything.)

Who Is Garfield?

Thank you. I’m sorry you feel that way, but I think we might have to agree to disagree on this one.

What Is Garfield?

Garfjam is the only game jam that matters. All other game jams before Garfjam are preparation for Garfjam. All game jams beyond Garfjam are celebrations in remembrance of Garfjam.

When Is Garfield?

Garf Day (Dec 25th) is universally recognized as the day Garf rose from Monday and ate lasagna. As such, everyone knows that if you leave lasagna by the fireside on Garf Day, you’ll get a big ol’ hunk-a Odie in your stocking. So let’s all celebrate this Monday-less holiday the right way, by participating in the traditional Garfday game jam and making a traditional Garfday game

Does Garfjam Happen Every Year?

What do I look like an Odie to you don’t ask silly questions ok.

Please forgive me I am better now.

Garf was always proud of you; is always proud of you. Show your love by participating in Garfjam on December 25th. It’s the only real holiday. And it is not Monday.
