Although first celebrated by Serta O’Keefe in 1966, Festivus didn’t gain common recognition until his boy, Daniel O’Keefe – a author around the TV sitcom Seinfeld at that time – used the celebration like a joke within the show is 1997.Festivus encourages the celebration from the festive season with no commercial overtones typically connected with Christmas. Celebrate through getting an ordinary aluminium pole instead of a conventional Christmas Tree, and labelling common and perfectly normal occasions as ‘Festivus miracles’.

Festivus is a nondenominational holiday featured in "The Strike" episode of Seinfeld, a popular United States based television sitcom of the 1990s. The holiday was a plot device in the episode, which first aired on December 18, 1997. Many people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld, now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness. Some do it religiously; others do it with good tidings in their respect to Seinfeld.

According to Seinfeld, Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23, but many people celebrate it other times, often in early December. Its slogan is "A Festivus for the rest of us!!" An aluminium pole is generally used in lieu of a Christmas tree or other holiday decoration, shedding holiday materialism. Those attending participate in the "Airing of Grievances" in which each person tells each and everyone else all the ways they've disappointed him/her over the past year, and after a Festivus dinner, The "Feats of Strength" are performed. Traditionally, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned.

Wasn't this the episode that Kramer was working in the bagel shop and then went on strike? Hilarious

what is festivus??

Festivus was first invented in 1966 when the father of Daniel O’Keefe, future Seinfeld writer, crafted a unique family holiday with untraditional practices such as the wrestling of the household head to the ground. O'Keefe introduced the holiday into Seinfeld lore on December 18, 1997 in the episode "The Strike", and a cult phenomenon was born. According to O'Keefe, the only tradition that was made up by the show’s writers was the undecorated Festivus pole—everything else was taken directly from his family celebrations. Many people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld, now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness. Some do it religiously; others do it with good tidings in their respect to Seinfeld.
