Happy Festivus! Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season.

Born from an episode of Seinfeld, the holiday’s traditions include the airing of grievances, feats of strength, and declaring mundane things a “Festivus miracle”.
