A lot of people get really fed up with the holidays every year because of the massive commercial overtones it has to it, especially regarding the gifts we are all supposed to give extravagantly. Well, if you want something different, you can celebrate Festivus. Festivus is an artificial holiday that came to national attention from the TV sitcom Seinfeld. One of the characters on the show made it up out of protesting the regular holidays. Festivus uses a simple aluminum pole in lieu of a tree, and instead of going to Christmas day services, you gather your family together, and tell them all the ways they have let you down over the past year. Festivus concludes with a ceremony called the Feats of Strength, which can be either a hula-hoop contest, or an all out fight.
