It's Festivus - let the Airing of Grievances begin!

Wrestling is the preferred contest, but others can be substituted as needed. What about eating jalapeno peppers?

Well, in regards of that particular feat of strength of mine, does it count that all my other co-workers just watched while I worked instead?
