The Grossmas Co-founders
Gish, Voort and Ice

Glad you made it! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, let's begin with a brief history

The History of Grossmas

Grossmas originated on December 13, 1973, the day Don Berg was dismissed form the Oneida Sacred Heart high school basketball team for imbibing in controlled substances. Oneida Sacred Heart no longer exists. That just indicates the magnitude of their mistake. But without the mistake, there'd be no Grossmas.

Grossmas Eve is the time all gross little boys and girls hang their dirty sweat socks on the mantle, with the hopes that at the stroke of midnight, Alice Cooper will come crashing through the picture window,riding boa constrictors and fill their socks with sick things.

How to Celebrate

Grossmas is celebrated by procuring and decorating a Grossmas tree, singing Grossmas carols, going out to a restaurant to eat without utensils, and generally engaging in drunken debauchery.

Proof of our invention of Grossmas exists in the 1975 edition of Sacred Heart's yearbook Perspective, where Gish (not his real name) and Mike "Twitch" Pawlowski stand proudly displaying that year's Grossmas tree. This picture predated any reference to Grossmas on the cartoon Beetlejuice. Sorry boys, you weren't the first!

Webmaster's note: I would like to thank Mike Vande Voort and Gish (not his real name) for their endless help, and information. Without them this page could have never been at it's Grossest. What those two can do in an afternoon, will take an eternity to correct.

This used to be a picture of Dean, well, you know the drill, his picture needs to be replaced until his return to Grossmas.
