First Digginman has to give us his List of Grievances

 

[Digginman]

First off, I am very disappointed in all of you this year:

Jeff, you haven't invited me to hunt your land that you paid for.

Ammo Dog, I don't know you, why are you here?

MonaLisa, I have no problem with you, except your beauty and personality took away from the gold coin I found.

I haven't caught a break this year.

For those who are lost... not that I care...

The Festivus Pole

The tradition begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises for its "very high strength-to-weight ratio." During Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed, apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, and because the holiday's creator, Frank Costanza, "finds tinsel distracting." Local customs vary and you may be able to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain decorations, or ordinary green garland.

The Airing of Grievances
At the Festivus dinner -- a meal featuring non-holiday comfort food -- each participant tells friends and family all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.

The Feats of Strength

The head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead.
