A Festivus for the Rest of Us

Here at The Shadowbox, theydo things a little different. So, when the idea of a Christmas party came up they naturally thought of…A Festivus Party!

Festivus is a holiday featured in “The Strike” episode of Seinfeld. The episode first aired on December 18, 1997. Since then many people have been inspired by the goodness of the Seinfeld holiday and they now celebrate Festivus as any other holiday.

According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23rd.
Instead of a tree an unadorned aluminum pole is used, in contrast to normal holiday materialism. Those attending Festivus may also participate in the “Airing of Grievances” which is an opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year and then the “Feats of Strength”.
