Happy Festivus!


Well, I knew it was today, but this lovely and hilarious picture from David's Tea's Facebook page reminded me: it's Festivus. So Happy Festivus everyone! David's Tea asked their customers to give their grievances, which they did. I did not say anything, but many said that the company should not delete the bonus points every new year. I didn't know that and I am glad so many people brought it up. So yes, there was an Airing of Grievances and I had a Feat of Strength of sorts: tonight was Krav Maga training. It was the last class before Christmas, so it was pretty relax, but every session is a feat of strength so I can say I did my share tonight too for the holiday. And it is fitting: Festivus became famous because of the very Jewish sitcom Seinfeld, Krav Maga is a Jewish martial art... Oh, and I thought yesterday I was catching a nasty cold (I had felt weak and shivering all night and all day) so I was afraid that I'd be too sick for training. But I was absolutely fine. So yes, it's a Festivus Miracle! So mine was very happy, how was/is yours?

Happy Festivus!

I don't know if many here are fans of Seinfeld, but those who are probably remember that today, 23rd of December, is Festivus. A fictitious holiday that has become real, at least to some people, enough so that there is a website dedicated to it. And a fanbase to follow it. It even got into a bit of controversy recently. I was not a fan of Seinfeld, but I always liked it all the same and I found this particular pseudo-holiday hilarious. So to celebrate, here is the bits of the episode where Festivus is featured. It hasn't aged.
