December 21st is one of my favorite days of the year. From this day forward, the amount of daylight increases every day.
December 25th is a pretty cool day, too. Celebrating Christmas, especially with a kid in the house, is always a fine time. Some folks get stressed out over the holidays, but not me. I love it all -- the shopping, the giving, the receiving, the spending time with family and friends. The whole bit.
Well, okay, I don't love the extra traffic near the malls, but even that's not such a big deal.
December 23rd, of course, is neither a holiday nor a seasonal day, but it is rapidly becoming one of the most widely-recognized made-up non-holidays ever. December 23rd is Festivus! According to the description spelled out in an episode of the sit-com Seinfeld, "a Festivus for the rest of us" is a day for complaining about how people have disappointed you and for setting up a plain aluminum pole and adorning it with... nothing. Festivus is supposedly a statement against the commercialism that has overwhelmed the holiday season.
How long do you think it will be before there are Festivus greeting cards? And... how ironic would that be?
Happy Festivus, everybody.

There are already some Festivus cards online. I believe Festivus is going to become the norm in a few years. It is very ironic that festivus is going to be comercial. People with exploit it if there is a buck to be make. There is a Festivus clip on www.whatisfestivus.com.
