That’s right! Put up the aluminum pole and stretch out for the feats of strength. It’s Festivus!

We all know it. The Seinfeld-borne bit where Frank Costanza invents his own holiday to thumb his nose at Hallmark, commercialism, whatever. It’s a whole big show, throw in George and Jerry looking embarrassed, yada yada yada, someone gets pinned.

But let’s be real. We all know our favorite part of this faux-holiday, and it’s something we New Yorkers do all too well: Airing grievances.

After all, what better way to kick off Festivus? Whining, complaining, and everything in between.
