A tradition was started in the year 2006 when we celebrated our first Festivus among family and friends, at my house. This year there was more food than ever! We couldn't even begin to make a dent. We followed the traditional Festivus rules this year which included the unadorned Festivus pole, the airing of grievances, and the feats of strength.

In the feat of strength the head of the household must wrestle everyone til they lose. Mike wrestled Jim, Wes, Katy Mac, and he thumb wrestled Watkins. I wrestled Kate and Katy Mac. I think we both lost to Katy Mac.

The Festivus pole, is neither beautiful, nor festive. In Festivus' origin which I date back to Frank Costanza on Seinfeld, Frank finds tinsel distracting, thus the unadorned pole.
