Happy Festivus, EVERYONE!  
"A Festivus, For the Rest of Us!" - Frank Costanza

(Dec. 23)

Festivus

What it is: Anti-Christmas holiday invented by George Costanza's father on Seinfeld. Family gathers for "airing of grievances," as moms, dads and siblings list the ways they've disappointed one another over the year.

Pros: Good for relieving pent-up conflict with family members. Uses a pole instead of a tree, so nothing has to die.

Cons: If you have a big family, it can be a talk-athon. Major emphasis on past behavior.


The Festivus Pole
Not a tree, a pole. No decorations. Tinsel is very distracting from the true meaning of the holiday. The pole is tall, silver, hollow, long, skinny, and heavy.




The Airing of Grievances
This is the part of the holiday where you tell your family and friends all the ways they have disappointed you during the year.



The Feats of Strength
This is the time during the celebration where the head of the family tests his strength against one lucky person. Festivus is not over until the head of the family is pinned. You are allowed to decline only if you have something to do instead. (Which is something members of the Costanza family rarely have.)
