After looking it appears to be peoples way to claim they don't take part in the commercialism of Christmas. Kind of funny the concept was first brought into living rooms by a fortune five hundred company. First I'm aware of anyway. I plan on celebrating Christmas this year. I love getting all of the family together. To those who wish to spend the time airing grievances, I say Happy Festivus to you. I air my grievances all year and try to put them on the back burner for a little around Christmas. It is such a stressful time of year and people appreciate it. I understand some need to air them at all times.

I think this may be my last year of hosting Festivus as the feats of strength are getting harder each year.
