First you get yourself a Festivus Pole. No decorations required.
Second, comes the airing of greviances.
Lastly comes the feats of strenght. The celebration ends once the head of the house is wresteled to the ground.
Brilliant. Effing Brilliant. Thank you ever so much, Larry David.
We aren't leaving town this year in honor of Festivus, so if you are in Helena and would like to come over to try and pin either myself or Hubby to the ground, feel free. I am looking forward to it. Here are some Festivus cards if you would like to celebrate as well. These are my favorites.
It took five seconds to pin me last year. Watch out! I
have been training!
Happy Festivus!

I'll raise my hand because I really really don't like xmas music. i cringe whenever i hear it (on the radio allllll the time) and that Paul McCartney song - "it's the christmas time of year," or whatever the heck it is. that one drives me particularly nuts. So on with the Festivus I say! and for that "person that has everything so what do i get them?" i recommend making a donation to their favorite charity in their name. Especially this year, we don't need more crap, we need more wealth spread around (karl marx much?). Instead of "what would jesus buy?" how's about "how would jesus want us to help out the less fortunate?" seems like a better christmas mantra this year.

Here Here AJ! I love that idea! Big bag of dog food to the humane society for each member of my family!
Wahoo festivus. I will be cooking up a great feast and pinning the fam to the floor. Bring your favorite pole decoration, a big appetite, and watch out for the after feast pinning.
Do you get festivas presents too?
Yes, there are festivus presents, but according to the video (see link in the blog) you can only give stuff you don't want and you are sure that the other person won't want either. . .
If you watch the video you will see "ice facing" feat of strength. Fascinating!
Do you remember how I was saying that we never have traditions, celebrations and barely even talk to each other in this office? Well, the Ladies Christmas Luncheon was today and now I'm on your boat. I'd rather we not talk to each other. I might have screamed if I heard one more OOOOOOO AAAAAAHHHHH at the yet-another sparkly, colorful, light-up, smiley, GAGGY snowman ornament given as a gift. UGH!
At least the food was good. Fried chicken - but don't get me started on what they think of as a "salad." Good think I brought my own which I'm still eating because no one wanted it; probably too green.
I hate typos.
It is funny because at work we can chat the day away and then all of a sudden the minute you step out for a social occasion, there is nothing to talk about and your face gets hot and everything is uncomfortable. The airing of greivances should be really awesome at our annual pegan festival now incorperating festivus.
It is a Festivus Miracle!
