Happy Festivus, For The Rest Of Us #Festivus

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. It is celebrated with the Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, the aluminum pole, Festivus dinner, Festivus miracles.

The holiday rose to mass cultural awareness after it was featured in an episode of the long-running TV show “Seinfeld”.

To all celebrating Festivus, have a great holiday.
