Still a fake holiday. It's not on any calendars or marked by anything other than Wikipedia and Seinfeld. I guess the 26th is a holiday then, called return your gifts holiday. After all that is the day with the most returns of the year, still doesn't make it a holiday.

That's too funny
U almost got me
Thanks for the invite
But I'll stick to worshiping Christs b-day our savior !!
Praise The Lord !!

Wasn't trying to get you at all buddy... All holidays are equally valid/invalid depending on your viewpoint.

My dear contrarian Jaa,
Who made you the holiday designation god?

Celebrated by many people. Doesn't make it less of a holiday because you don't celebrate it. Please don't mock my beliefs or holidays.

Here are some fun Festivus factoids for you to disprove your absolutely asinine assertions.

"Festivus" was the name of a seasonal Ben & Jerry's ice cream made in 2000 and 2001.[15][16]
"Festivus" was a term used by the 2000 Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL) and their fans to denote the NFL Playoffs. During the season, Ravens head coach Brian Billick, wanting his players to focus on every game, banned the word "playoffs". Players substituted the term "festivus" for playoffs and "Festivus Maximus" for the Super Bowl. The Ravens eventually won the 2000-01 "Festivus Maximus," Super Bowl XXXV.[17]
In 2005, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle was declared "Governor Festivus" and during the holiday season displayed a Festivus Pole in the family room of the Executive Residence in Madison, Wisconsin.[18] Governor Doyle's 2005 Festivus Pole is now part of the collection of the Wisconsin Historical Museum.[19]
In 2006, in an article from The Intelligencer titled "Festivus comes to town..." reported that eight young men from Brockville, Ontario, Canada set forth on a pilgrimage to Belleville, Ontario carrying a Festivus pole which was erected inside a local pub/pool hall, where they began "airing grievances" and performing "feats of strength". This annual tradition is celebrated on the third Saturday every December.
In 2007, a Wisconsin man requested permission to erect a Festivus pole next to Green Bay City Hall's nativity scene as a response to public religious and secular displays.[20][21]
In 2007, the first Festivus Pole Lot opened [22] in downtown Milwaukee.
In 2008 and 2009, a Festivus pole was erected in the rotunda of the Illinois Capitol building located in Springfield, Illinois. In 2008, the handle of a pool cleaner was erected by 18-year-old student, Mike Tennenhouse, who along with then Governor Rod Blagojevich began "airing grievances" on behalf of the people of Illinois.[23][24] The 2009 display was an unadorned aluminum pole.
In 2008, the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. held an "airing of grievances" on bulletin boards attached to a kiosk. These grievances were then aired by a town crier in a jester hat the following weekend.[25]
In 2010, an inmate at the Theo Lacy jail in Santa Ana, CA received Kosher meals for his Festivus "faith". Malcolm King was given non-salami meals for two months while the county was getting the order thrown out, arguing that kosher meals and religious observances were not a part of Festivus.[26] The issue became moot on October 5, 2010, when King was released from county jail and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[27][28]
In 2010, a CNN story featuring Jerry Stiller detailed the increasing popularity of the holiday, including US Representative Eric Cantor's Festivus fundraiser.[29]
In 2010, the Christian Science Monitor, in an article titled "Festivus becomes worldwide holiday," reported that Festivus was a top trend on Twitter.[2]
The punk rock band Titus Andronicus named their debut album after "The Airing of Grievances".
In 2011, the Chattanooga Times Free Press in Chattanooga, TN detailed citizen Benjamin Fleet's celebration of Festivus.[30]
In 2012, an eight-foot Festivus pole made of beer cans was placed on the front lawn of a city-firehouse in Deerfield Beach, Florida, near a Nativity scene and a menorah. The work of a local atheist who, after years of unsuccessfully trying to get the city to remove the religious symbols from its property, sought and received "permission to place an 'anti-religious' display" on city property.[31][32]
In 2012, Google introduced a custom search result for the term ?Festivus? In addition to the normal results an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed running down the side of the list of search results and "A Festivus Miracle!" prefixes the results count and speed.[33][34]
