How does Festivus end? What is Festivus Friday?

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season.

It was popularized by the sitcom “Seinfeld” in 1997, but it was created by author Daniel O’Keefe in 1966. Festivus has several traditions, such as the airing of grievances, the feats of strength, the aluminum pole, and the Festivus miracles.

According to the “Seinfeld” episode, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is pinned down by another participant in a wrestling match. This is called the feat of strength, and it is usually performed after the Festivus dinner and the airing of grievances.

However, in some cases, the head of the household can choose someone else to do the feat of strength for them, or they can decline to participate if they have something better to do.

Festivus Friday is not an official part of Festivus, but it is a term that some people use to refer to the Friday before Christmas, which often falls on December 23. Some people celebrate Festivus on this day instead of on December 25, or they celebrate both holidays.

Festivus Friday can be seen as a way to have fun and relax before the stress of Christmas, or as a way to honor the spirit of Festivus by rejecting the consumerism and materialism of Christmas.
