Happy Festivus!
Today, December 23, we celebrate Festivus, the Holiday for the rest of us.
Here is a brief history of Festivus from festivusbook.com:
While it first came to the attention of most of America by way of the December 18, 1997 episode of Seinfeld, the celebration of a holiday called Festivus is part of human history throughout the ages, most notably in ancient Rome, nineteenth-century California, and upstate New York in the 1960s.
By December 2004, when Allen Salkin’s article about Festivus as a real holiday appeared in the New York Times, thousands of people around the world were celebrating Festivus with parties, grievance-airing, pole-erecting, beer-brewing and the invention of new Festivus rituals.
Today, famillies will gather in their homes around their Festivus Poles and practice the ancient traditions of Festivus, which include Airing og Rrievances and everyone’s favorite, the Feats of Strength.
If you are new to the Festivus tradition, you can buy your very own Festivus Pole from festivuspoles.com.
Here are a few pictures of families around the world enjoying the Festivus traditions.
