Festivus!

Festivus! The holiday for people like us! A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!!!

I first heard about this from watching Seinfeld as a kid about 10 years ago.

"The origins of the Festivus celebration can be dated back to one man's refusal to conform to the increased commercialism and consumerism which has saturated the December holiday season."

ELEMENTS of FESTIVUS



Festivus Pole
An aluminum pole is used to celebrate this holiday. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, because it is "very low-maintenance," and good "Strength to Weight Ratio."






Airing of Grievances
At the beginning of the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family of all the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.


Festivus Dinner
"The original Festivus meal consisted of spaghetti (or what might have passed for meatloaf) covered in a red sauce. But established custom aside, it can consist of whatever you want to eat (so long as it never wore feathers)."






Feats of Strength
"After the dinner, the head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead."
