Welcome to Chadbone.com!  This is the official website honoring and explaining the holiday of Chadbone, celebrated each year, usually in January after the traditional winter holiday commotion is done.  Chadbone had its inception in January of 2002, but some say it has lived in the hearts of man for ages.  Chadbone is a time to come together with friends and acknowledge their importance in your life.  It is a time to help each other set new personal goals and an inspiring tone for the upcoming year.  Chadbone should be personal, fun, stress-free and inventive.  The only real rule to celebrating Chadbone is that there are no set rules.  There is no deity associated with this holiday-  in fact, the theme and feel changes and evolves from year to year.  One Chadbone symbol that has stood the test of time is Flamey the Candle, and it is traditional for all participants to share in a special candlelighting ceremony, making wishes for the coming year.  It has also become customary for all involved to have tea during this portion of the festivities.  Sometimes at Chadbone there is the giving of gifts, but this should never feel too extravagant or obligatory.  Release expectation!  This is a dynamic holiday that continues to change and develop from year to year depending on what is needed to nourish the connection of the group of participating comrades.  Be quirky with your celebration of Chadbone, for anything goes, and remember:  the founders of Chadbone wish you and yours a Smashing Chad!
