Festivus-The Holiday For the Rest of Us



Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23rd. It was created by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a screenwriter for the TV show Seinfeld as part of a comical storyline on the show. The holiday's celebration, as shown on Seinfeld, includes an aluminum "Festivus pole", practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and the "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles".

As Frank Costanza aka Jerry Stiller would say "Until you pin me, George, Festivus is not over!" Happy Festivus for the rest of us!
