Festivus Day

Are you feeling a little left out!? You don’t celebrate Christmas or Chanukah. Kwanzaa just isn’t your thing. And, you don’t even know what or when the Ramadan or Dilawi holidays are. Well, you can celebrate this December 23 holiday. Today is Festivus Day. The slogan for today is “Festivus for the Restivus!”

Come and experience the joy and the Miracle of Festivus. One might say that this holiday is a miracle in itself.

Festivus Day Traditions

There are just a few traditions to follow as you enjoy Festivus for the Restivus. But, they are very important. Here they are:

• No, there isn’t a Festivus Tree. Rather, an unadorned aluminum pole is the symbol of Festivus.
• The Festivus holiday is celebrated with a dinner. Meatloaf is the suggested main course (I betcha can’t wait for a slice of that!).
• Dinner is followed by a “Feats of Strength”.
• Another popular Festivus tradition is an “Airing of Grievances”. This is where you can tell someone how disappointed you are over what they did or didn’t do during the past year. Doesn’t this sound like fun!?
• Gift-giving is not part of this holiday. Nor, sholud you send Festivus cards.
