It may have started out as a joke holiday on Seinfeld, but since the episode aired people all across the world have embraced the Festivus holiday.

Since today is officially Festivus, we thought we would run down the traditions: "Airing of Grievances," the "Feats of Strength," and declaring mundane things a "Festivus miracle."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, let's enjoy "Festivus for the Rest of Us" with a set of songs for Festivus.

Songs Played

Daft Punk - Harder, Faster, Stronger
Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
Hot Chocolate - Sexy Thing
Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
Elvis Costello - Pump It Up
Trip Shakespeare - Toolmaster of Brainerd
