The Essentials:

The Festivus Pole:
Not a tree, a pole. No decorations. Tinsel is very distracting from the true meaning of the holiday. The pole is tall, silver, hollow, long, skinny, and heavy.

The Airing of Grievances:
This is the part of the holiday where you tell your family and friends all the ways they have disappointed you during the year.

The Feats of Strength:
This is the time during the celebration where the head of the family tests his strength against one lucky person. Festivus is not over until the head of the family is pinned. You are allowed to decline only if you have something to do instead. (Which is something members of the Costanza family rarely have.)

Why is it the 23rd? I don't remember if they said why in the show.

Festivus is a nondenominational holiday from Seinfeld, a popular American television sitcom of the 1990s. It featured on episode number 166 of the show, entitled The Strike, which first aired on 18 December 1997. Many fans of Seinfeld now celebrate the fictional holiday in real life.

Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23. Its slogan is "A Festivus for the rest of us!"
