The holiday for the rest of us
Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23. 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. The holiday's celebratio includes an unadorned aluminum "Festivus pole," practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength," and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles."
Celebrants of the holiday sometimes refer to it as "Festivus for the rest of us," a saying taken from the O'Keefe family traditions and popularized in the Seinfeld episode to describe Festivus as "another way" to celebrate without participating in its pressures and commercialism.

- I'm overwhelmed with the need to decorate an aluminum pole now. Perhaps with little scrolls containing grievances... Fun lens. Thanks for the grins.
