[Anon refers to this post] Oh gosh, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but Festivus is not a real holiday! But it is endearing, and I think there are ppl who practice it anyway.

Wiki explains it better than I can, and you really should try to watch the

Seinfeld

episode about it:

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Originally a family tradition of scriptwriter Dan O’Keefe, who worked on the American sitcom Seinfeld, Festivus entered popular culture after it was made the focus of the 1997 episode “The Strike.”

The customary practices are: 

1) Festivus pole
2) Festivus dinner
3) Airing of Grievances

4) Feats of Strength
5) Festivus miracles

And I would love to see a VC fic/fanart with any of that involved 😉
