Rule #8: Always be wary of anniversaries and holidays. And to be fair, the last birthday party I went to, someone slipped drugs into the liquor and I hallucinated my dead girlfriend before ending up in a super awkward three-way. So I'm not that keen on them either.
Regina is going to put a protection spell on my room, so I'm not sure we need to necessarily bludgeon to death any potential intruders. As fun as that sounds.
