A holiday traditionally celebrated upon the second snowfall of the new year, usually falling sometime in the first two weeks of January.

The Yamball holiday is observed by building a "yamball" out of a mixture of flour and canned [sweet potatoes] ("yams").  The ideal yamball has a playdough-like consistency and is slightly smaller than a junior basketball (~6 or 7 inches in diameter).

The yamball is then thrown back and forth by the celebrants until everyone is properly tired out, at which point there is a yamball "toss" which is performed much like an egg tossing contest (i.e. subsequent tosses must be from increasingly great distances).

The yamball is then retired to a front porch or other outdoor area.  After a few days, if the Skunk King Wenceslaus is pleased with the yamball, He will leave gifts nearby [for the children] of the household.

Traditionally Yamball was also celebrated by holding a formal ball known as the "Yamball Gambol" but this is seldom practiced in modern times.

Yamball is now [often] used as an occasion to exchange gifts with friends who have spent the December [holiday season] apart due to family obligations.
