Default Happy Festivus!
Today, December 23rd is Festivus.

Every year I consider having a Festivus party, but can never manage to pull it together. Maybe next year I'll finally do it. All I need is an aluminum pole and people willing to celebrate with me. Although, if I'm hosting the party, I think that makes me the one who has to get wrestled to the ground.

If you choose to air your grievances in this thread, please be gentle.

In the spirit of the holidays, for each person who reads this thread, I'll be making a donation in your (screen)name to The Human Fund.

My undergraduate house (dorm/dining club) at college has a traditional Festivus party every year in lieu of dinner one weekend during final exam period. Amazing (tempting!) ethnic food from a dozen local restaurants + skits and tomfoolery = literally the best holiday party of the season. I think I plan to celebrate Festivus as a serious holiday for the rest of my life.

While dining at a restaurant the end of November a big family came in and they now have an ugly christmas sweater party! Oh holy cow, I never laughed so hard in my life...the guys had gone to resale shops or goodwill or somewhere and they had on the GREATEST sweaters...it was so funny!

Sorry this is OT, I had a memory and wanted 2 share!
