2. We do, every year!
There always seems to be an airing of grievances around the dinner table anyway.

4. My favorite part.
I'm getting a little past it for the Feats of Strength.
But, boy do I have grievances!
Yes, I do!

7. Did anyone else ever get to try . . .
the Ben and Jerry's Limited Edition Festivus Ice Cream?

It's been about 4 or 5 years ago, I don't even remember what was in it now, but I just remember it was good :) :) :)

17. Yes, yes!
I did and I loved it. That was going to be my post, asking if anyone knew if they were ever going to make it again. It was yummy. I'm mad that they only made it the one time. (I guess I've aired my grievance, now on to the feats of strength...)

8. "Stop crying, and fight your father!"
"Many Christmas`s ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him. I realised, there had to be another way."

"It (the doll) was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born. A Festivus for the rest of us!"

I can't get enough of new holidays. They're the boss.

13. Only 16 shopping days left until Festivus (Dec. 23rd)
Actually there is no shopping for Festivus that's the point.
