dixon, loved the comment! sometimes we, in our traditions become oblivious to just how stupid they are. I love all the hooplah of celebrations, but I have issues with some of the religious meanings. Festivus, solstice, harvest, are just a few substitutions I’ve made, and surprisingly there’s rarely a shortage of people/friends wanting to join in the celebrations.

In the words of Jim Gaffigan: “Christmas is the time of year we cut down a tree and put it up inside the house. It’s like something a drunk person would do!”
I like Festivus!

I think Festivus is a joke on the verge of being taken far too seriously.

And what in that mix makes Festivus “blessed”?
