Festivus For The Rest of Us

Last night I celebrated the first annual Masterson Household "Festivus: For The Rest of Us". Festivus as I've read stems from a Seinfeld episode, in which traditions are like no other. A bare aluminum pole represents a Christmas tree. Traditional activities include a hearty dinner (we had spaghetti and numerous desserts), feats of strength (we played billiards instead of wrestling), and the infamous "Airing of Grievances". As we entered the house dressed in our most awful holiday sweaters (I had to get one from Goodwill hours before), we got our picture taken with the pole tree. That picture was placed on a dart board, which we attached to the pole tree. We each got one dart to hit a picture, and thus had a chance to say our grievancesabout that person. If you didn't know the person, you could make something up. The person that hit my picture didn't know me, and dramatized the fact that my shoes didn't match my holiday sweater. Haha.
