Tomorrow is Festivus -- how do you plan to celebrate?
"Festivus, the holiday “for the rest of us,” has its origins in the Seinfeld episode “The Strike,” and was actually created by Seinfeld writer Daniel O’Keefe’s father as a tradition for his family. The made-up holiday (celebrated December 23 as an alternative to Christmas, and created by George Costanza’s father Frank) has since taken on a life of its own, with Festivus celebrations cropping up around the world, and companies cashing in by producing their very own Festivus products. If you’d like to observe Festivus yourself, or just learn about its silly traditions, read on for a guide to how to celebrate Festivus."

1. Listing of grievances
But I'll keep it to myself. My uptight WASP family wouldn't do well if I aired the grievances. :)

2. I got a lot of problems with you people! Now, you're gonna hear about it!
I love that episode of Seinfeld. It's the only one I actually laughed at.

3. After a long search I have located, and acquired

a martini shaker that looks like a tiny Festivus Pole. Not content to stop there, however, I shall eschew my normal adult beverages of martinis or scotch, and instead I shall serve chilled Apfelkorn from this Festivus shaker to all who appear at my door requesting refreshment. Hell, I'll even provide it in a clean glass!

After which the Airing of Grievances shall commence, followed by, well, whatever folks are inclined to do.
