"a Festivus for the rest of us"
I'm sick of Canada being better than us. I want America to stop fucking sucking.

Looking forward to the airing of the grievances.
I prefer the feats of strength.
You disappoint me using a US pop culture reference. (Am I doing this right?)
I air my grievances out all year long, so there's not too much to get through on Festivus 😌
I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!
Boy, has the need to escape the commercialization of Christmas only increased since 1997 (eg, black Friday). Thankfully, there's a Festivus for the rest of us, of course. I did some holiday shopping today, and didn't face much busyness and crowdedness. It was a Festivus miracle
A compromise I can live with.
I’ve been going with “happy winter solstice!”
Well, Happy Solstice, naturally ☺️ but Solstice (winter for those in the north :) is Dec 21st, whereas Festivus is Dec 23rd. More holidays = better :D
I’ve been quite active lately at work, so I expect to perform quite well at the feats of strength.
Are gonna do feats of strength too? Happy Festivus and Mery Christmas for the rest.
Ps: I liked from that episode Elaine saying "Hey, I was in a shvitz for 6 hours. Give me a break."
Will someone call all of the ambulances?
That must have been some doll.
