How to Celebrate Festivus
Celebrating Festivus Day is very simple and easier to remember. Festivus is an alternative to the pressure and commercialism that cause Christmas Shopping. On this day, use the aluminum pole in place of the Christmas tree. Then, put the clock in the bag and nail it on the wall. Next is dinner, which usually contains turkey or meatloaf on a bed of lettuce. And then, Airing of Grievances, where each person from the table stands and tells about how the world had disappointed them that year. Finally, the person who is the head of the household will call one individual from the celebration and challenge them to a wrestling match. The celebration will not stop until their opponent person pins the head of the family. Post pictures and share your celebrations on social media using the hashtag #Festivus.
