n. An alternative to the crass commercialization of Christmas, typically celebrated on December 23. It involves The Airing of Grievances (telling your family and friends all the ways they have disappointed you during the year) and does not end until the Feats of Strength (pinning the head of the family) are accomplished. A plain, metal pole is used in lieu of a Christmas tree, because decorations (such as tinsel) is distracting from the true meaning of the holiday.

Festivus is a holiday created by Mr. Castanza after he failed to buy a doll for his beloved son George. This holiday celebrates the things that grieved you for the past solar cycle (1 year). It is celebrated annually on December 23rd by the Castanza household and Seinfeld super-fans. The abscence of a tree is replaced by an aluminum pole. A festivus ritual is two people wrestling each other remorselessly and the head of the family is to be pinned. The holiday's motto is a festivus for the rest of us. For a period of over 20 years, Festivus was suspended from celebration only to be reencarnated by Cosmo Cramer in 1998.
Another Festivus miracle!

Fisticus Anicus 

A magical spell used to conjure a large Thanos like fist and force it up another’s anus.
When the villain attempted to flee Narry Hotter angrily cast “Fisticus Anicus”! The villain was immediately stopped in his tracks, and levitated off the ground by a large gold fist covered in jewels being shoved violently into his anus.

Fisticus 

The act of pleasuring a FUPA. To properly fisticus, two people are needed. Person A horizontally separates FUPA skin while person B uses one hand to assist in vertical separation. Person B’s other hand is formed into a fist and thrust into the female subject’s vajayjay.
Dude, remember that fat chick with the FUPA I took home with me the other day? Let’s just say when we got to my place, my roommate and I gave her the biggest Fisticus of her life!

A healthy alternative to Christmas or Chaunaka. Intstead of feeling an overwhelming compulsion to run up credit card debt by purchasing things for people that they will probably not need and regift to someone else next year, you get a microphone stand around which whores can dance. Everyone "airs their grievances" by writing a problem on a piece of paper and putting it into a box (without the person's name). Then people take turns reading them and the others offer solutions or crack on that person. After the anger and embarassment build (which is magnified by massive amounts of alcohol), it is time for "Feats of Strength". These can consist of anything from arm wrestling to tackle football in the backyard to chicken fighting. Unlike Christmas, people are actually real and end up feeling emotionally healed!
Sorry friends and family, I won't be making it to your Christmas parties this year. You should dump them to and come to my first annual "Festivus For the Rest of Us" jam.

A holiday that happends every year at 23.12. It's holiday that was made popular in the 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike". It was originally created author Daniel O'Keefe. The non-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld, occurs on December 23 and includes a Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles". The episode refers to it as "a Festivus for the rest of us".
A Festivus for the rest of us.
