Each year on December 23rd, Festivus commemorates a holiday episode of the television comedy, Seinfeld. In 1997, the popular television comedy brought Festivus to the masses when Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) explains he invented the holiday in response to the commercialism of Christmas. Its slogan is “A Festivus for the rest of us.”
1. Have you ever watched the Festivus episode of Seinfeld ("The Strike")?

2. Daniel O'Keefe, Reader's Digest editor and author, created the holiday in response to family tension. O'Keefe's son wrote the Seinfeld episode featuring the celebration. The Airing of Grievances is part of the holiday and takes place during the Festivus dinner, when participants share their frustrations and complaints about others, society, or life in general from the past year. Would you incorporate this part of Festivus into your holidays?

3. Do you agree with the critique of holiday commercialism that inspired Festivus?

4. If you could create your own "holiday for the rest of us," what would it be about? Do you have any ideas? Comment below!
