For those folks who may be finding that holiday cheer is harder to come by this year, there is an alternative to the cheery decking of the halls. There is an available option to celebrate a holiday and maintain a healthy dose of grumpiness.December 23 is Festivus, a day reserved in history for all who feel that the normal holiday traditions don't quite fit the bill this year.
And if we're getting really technical, Festivus may have roots dating back as early as 1966 when "Seinfeld" writer Dan O'Keefe, who introduced Festivus into the plotline, first heard his father dream up the holiday.The holiday comes complete with a set of traditions befitting this third year of a pandemic and dreariness otherwise, including a drab pole instead of a brightly lit tree.
I know that airing my gripes could be cathartic, but too much complaining, like too much of anything, might not be so good for me. But if you have some control over the grievance, yelling at a ragged pole with others listening might not be the answer. Opt instead to address the grievance with them directly, or "scream into an abyss but don't create tension and fights that could ruin what would otherwise be a lovely celebration of pettiness, misery, whininess, and victimhood," Winch said.
