    Festivus was originally created by the show Seinfield declaring the holiday’s date and setting up many of its traditions. Since it aired Festivus has become a very popular alternative holiday full of zany traditions that are unique to every household, and that’s kind of the point! Festivus is for the strange and offbeat, those who aren’t fit for any mold, and are truly unique and strange in their manners.

    It’s grown into a worldwide phenomenon and is and it all came from one episode of the show about nothing. “Many Christmases 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 realized there had to be another way”, a direct quote from the show indicating its origins.

    The violence and desperation to gather up the best and newest toys on the market, the constant fighting and craziness that happens on Holidays like Black Friday encouraged the creation of a holiday that abandoned all the consumerism for something better. Enjoying the company of friends and relations throughout the Holiday.

    Every day is Humbug Day for some of us.

    I dislike mint humbugs. I think it’s a Pavlovian thing as we were given them on car journeys as kids when we felt car sick!
