To ease us into the Holiday season let's start with a bit of nonsense. Tell us a story about Festivus.
For those of you who do not know, Festivus is a made-up holiday that was made popular in 1997 when the comedy sitcom Seinfeld did an episode on it (i.e. S9E10 - The Strike).
To see a clip of the Seinfeld episode to get some inspiration you can check out the link:
Festivus has gained traction ever since the show and now many people around the world do celebrate this crazy holiday.
For more information on Festivus, you can check out the Wikipedia Link.
Here are some of the details for simplicity.
• Day: Celebrated on 23 December
• Philosophy: Meant as an alternative to the commercialism of Christmas.
• Symbol: an aluminium pole (aka Festivus pole) is used instead of a Christmas tree.
• Tradition 1: "Airing of grievances." During dinner, people tell the guests all of the ways that they have let them down this year.
• Tradition 2: "Feats of Strength." After dinner, the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and the holiday only ends if the head of the household is pinned.
• Miracles: People declare that mediocre, normal and easily explained events that take place during the evening are Festivus miracles. "It's a Festivus miracle!"
One last thing: in the same way that we wouldn't want to read a Christmas story that explains what Christmas is, we also do not want to read any Festivus stories that explain what Festivus is - this post already covers that. Be creative and write us a fictional Festivus-related story.

⚠️ #spillthebeans MUST be your first tag, and if your story does not cover any of the relevant scenarios presented, your post will be muted for fairness to other competitors.
