Festivus is celebrated on December 23rd as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season & was created by author Daniel O'Keefe & popularized in the 1997 Seinfeld episode when Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes & Jerry Seinfeld are dining at Monk’s Restaurant aka (exterior filmed at Tom’s Restaurant in NYC) with George Costanza who is opening his mail, receives a card from his father saying, "Dear Son, Happy Festivus."
The #Festivus celebration includes dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles. The Seinfeld episode refers the holiday as "a Festivus for the rest of us".
