Good morning all and a Happy Festivus to you! It is on this day, December 23rd, that we celebrate the semi-real holiday that rebels against the commercialism of Christmas. Later on, we will all have Festivus dinner around our aluminum pole, and then share the Airing of Grievances(telling your family how much they have disappointed you over the past year, etc.). After that, we will attempt to end Festivus with the Feats of Strength as we try to pin the head of the family to the floor. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, info more is here:

Here is my Airing of Grievances:
-My girlfriend is being a bitch
-My mom's being a bitch
-The college application process is bullshit
-Senior year is not fun
-THERE IS NO SNOW IN THE EAST COAST WHATSOEVER

Festivus last year, my friend brought in an 8ft. aluminum pole from Home Depot. We celebrated, and there was much rejoicing.

The rest of you can wish each other a Happy Festivus here, and make any comments on the holiday if you like. Also, you may post your own Airing of Grievances.
Happy Festivus for the rest of us!!!

no no there is a wrestling match in which the family tries to pin the head of the family to the floor, which, in most cases, would be the father. so you must wrestle the father until he is pinned to the floor in order to end Festivus.

^That sounds like a grievance.

Festivus doesn't accord with my Pastafarian religious beliefs, but good on you for celebrating according to your own. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (may sauce be upon him) blesses your seasonal endeavors and wishes you much bolognaise in the coming year. RAmen.

Festivus was invented by a 22 year old writer on Seinfeld who wrote the joke for Jerry Stiller, who still celebrates it, but fears it might be getting commercialized.
