Wangzaah Night
Wangzaah Night is a traditional ceremony held on December 23, which is considered the official Wangzaah holiday in Orthodox Wangism.
Not much is known about the Wangzaah Night festivities. The actual ceremony isn't so much shrouded in secrecy as Wangites are not particularly interested in discussing administrative details. Wangites usually state that they have an enjoyable time and get to catch up with others.
The ceremony traditionally uses waffle fries and kompot. However, in 1853, the Holy Ingemodh Mother of Wang Cathedral removed the waffle fries and kompot requirement after Bishop Snedlditetikasi wrote a very lovely letter to the editor recommending against it.
The text of the letter, published in The Wangite Quarterly reads:
Dear Editor,
I quite enjoy our annual Wangzaah Night traditions. However, I think it may be prudent to rethink waffle fries and kompot as a required element. Many of our church members are not particularly fond of waffle fries and do not look forward to the ceremony. A few of our church members are on restricted diets and are unable to partake in the kompot for their own health. Even aside from those issues, it seems to be a bit rude to restrict the ceremony to just those two items. What if a participant prefers seltzer water or steamed buns? As Wangites, we want to accommodate all of our church members's needs. I believe allowing more freedom of cuisine will better help us reach our community. Perhaps the Wangzaah Night ceremony could have an assortment of food and drink to accommodate everyone's individual preferences and dietary requirements.

Following Bishop Snedlditetikasi's letter, the Holy Ingemodh Mother of Wang Cathedral recommended that future Wangzaah Night ceremonies have an assortment of hors d'oeuvres so all attending members can enjoy themselves.
