Festivus for the Rest of Us - Winter Holiday Blog Hop

 

Happy Blog Hop Day!

Today my friends and I bring you projects around the theme "Winter Holidays".  A quick Google search reveals there are more than 40 Winter Holidays ... and that doesn't even include the fictional and satirical ones!  All us card-makers have been  cranking out the Christmas and Hanukkah cards for MONTHS .... so today we're doing everything BUT!

Are there any Seinfeld fans out there?  If so, THIS Winter Holiday card needs NO explanation ...
Hee hee.  Literally a five minute card.  Yes, Festivus for the Rest of us ...

This is what Wikipedia has to say about this fictional "holiday" ...

FESTIVUS is a secular holiday celebrtated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season.

The non-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld 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 "Festivus for the Rest of us"/

Ig has been described as a parody holiday festival and as a form of playful consumer resistance.

I have several friends who aren't QUITE as into Christmas as I am.  I think I'll be making a FEW of these and sending them out.  I think we could ALL use a chuckle this December!

Happy Festivus Everyone! lol
