Are you getting ready for the upcoming holiday? Not Christmas on the 25Th but Festivus on the 23rd. That's right and if you don't know about Festovis I'll give you a little lesson. First you have to get a Festivus pole which is a aluminium pole,very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is anti Christmas tree with no decoration at all. Then there is the Fesstivus dinner that you can either drink heavily or not. But the two main traditions are the Airing of Grievances and Feats of Strength. The Airing of Grievances ,which takes place immediately after the Festivus dinner has been served. It consists of lashing out at others and the world about how one has been disappointed in the past year. The Feats of Strengths consist of the head of the household selects one person at the Festivus celebration and challenges that person to a wrestling match. The person may decline if they have something else to do.
So you better get out there because there are only 18 days till Festivus.

Ok Willie,
Now I am really confused. Is it supposed to be Festivus, Festovis, or Fesstivus?????? How the heck am I going to google it if I don't have the correct spelling???? Or is Fesstivus the Latin spelling for Festivus? It would be very helpful if you could clear that up for me tomorrow morning. And I also don't know why we have to have a special occassion for this grievance airing anyway...it just sort of happens at our dinner table every night. How do you think I got my injured finger? Wrestling is a usual part of our dinner routine. You try raising 2 teenage girls in this day and age...Can't you remember back????Maybe not... I forgot you are inflicted with ADD and that is why you are listing posts on not accepted days. I think you really owe a lot to your spin buddies Willie. Just think of what a wreck your life would be without us.
See ya tomorrow old fart ( who appreciates groovy music)Mary
PS...I finally got caught up on my reading.
