Happy Festivus! Festivus Quotes And Get Ready to Rumble!

December 23rd is Festivus, a holiday invented by the writers of Seinfeld, using the character of George’s father, Frank Costanza. Happy Festivus!

And the day is not finished until you have participated in Feats of Strength with someone, hopefully winning but if not that’s ok…it’s just another grievance.
