Celebrate the holiday season with Festivus - an unconventional alternative to traditional festivities! Get ready for the airing of grievances and feats of strength!
Get ready to celebrate Festivus on Dec. 23rd! This quirky holiday was created in 1997 by Dan O'Keefe and popularized by the television show Seinfeld. It's a secular holiday that has become an annual tradition for many people as a way of celebrating the joys and laughter of family gatherings around this time of year without all the commercialism surrounding Christmas or other holidays. Whether you're looking for some unique traditions, hilarious activities or just want to have a good laugh with loved ones, Festivus is sure to put everyone in the festive spirit!
Festivus just isn't complete without a Festivus pole. Decorate it with bows, ribbons, and tinsel for a festive look.
What's Festivus without airing out your grievances? Take some time to share your frustrations with family and friends in an open and honest manner.
Get physical with your Festivus celebration! Challenge your guests to arm wrestling or any other fun strength activities.
Prepare all of your favorite dishes to celebrate Festivus. Think traditional holiday favorites like turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and more!
Break out the board games and have everyone join in on the fun! Games like charades or Pictionary are great ice breakers and can get everyone into the festive spirit.
Festivus is the perfect excuse to invite friends and family over for a night of laughs. It gives everyone an opportunity to gather around the Festivus pole, share stories, and enjoy some good old-fashioned holiday cheer.
One of the most popular aspects of Festivus is the airing of grievances, where participants take turns saying what really gets them down during the holidays. It can be cathartic and even a bit humorous when expressed in a lighthearted manner!
For many, Festivus serves as an antidote to the generic Christmas hoopla that we are all too familiar with. With its zany traditions and out-of-the box decorations, Festivus allows us to create our own unique holiday celebration and express ourselves in ways that you just can't do during Christmas or any other time of the year!
