Festivus is an annual holiday created by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld. Although the original Festivus took place in February 1966 as a celebration of O'Keefe's first date with his wife, Deborah, many people now celebrate the holiday on December 23rd, as depicted on the Seinfeld episode "The Strike".
The Festivus Pole - Made of aluminum and is displayed unadorned.
Airing of Grievances - Each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year.
Feats of Strength - This involves wrestling the head of the household to the floor, with the holiday ending only if the head of the household is actually pinned.
