A Very Special Festivus for the Rest of Us

Overview

In 1997, Christmas changed. With a single episode of Seinfeld, the world became privy to a new form of holiday celebration that eschewed other traditions and denominations. Instead of a tree, an unadorned pole gets pride of place. Rather than share happy stories, everyone gathered airs their grievances. And, instead of settling down on the couch after a hearty meal, attendees compete in feats of strength.

Okay, so maybe you still enjoy tinsel, turkey and street cricket with your family on December 25; however Sabotage Social is making sure you can have some Festivus fun as well. Their shindig takes place on December 16, a week before the official date of December 23 — but hey, if you're not happy about that, add it to your grievance list.

Yes, there really will be a grievances box, and they'll be read out by the DJ for everyone to hear. A Very Special Festivus for the Rest of Us also features arm wrestling, potluck beers and red cocktails, and free regifted pressies for all. Don't forget to dress up, too, for your chance to win the best prize of all: a bar tab.
