The Festivus cards have been sent and the pretend donations to fake charities have been made:
Tonight's dinner will be the traditional Festivus meal of meatloaf with all the trimmings. For my guests I've also got a couple of special cakes decorated in the spirit of the holiday:
During dinner, we'll begin The Airing of Grievances -- always a special time in any family! I've been saving up my petty resentments and toxic feelings all year long! I will commence The Airing of Grievances ritual with the time-honoured Festivus words: I got a lot of problems with you people. And now, you're gonna hear about it.
And finally, Festivus concludes with everyone's favourite ritual -- the Feats of Strength -- when the Head of the Household is pinned to the floor, signifying that Festivus is officially over. Around here, the Head of the Household is Her Royal Highness, of course. But she's pretty tough to wrestle with, so our Festivus may continue for days!

...mother did always like you best! :P
"I got a lot of problems with you people. And now, you're gonna hear about it." That's common dinner conversation on a nightly basis in Casa De Psycho. Hmmmm, perhaps we should save it for once a year? It would have to be more of a Hanukah/Festivus because us bitches need at least 8 nights of that.
Too Funny! Though I do know people who celebrate the Holidays a day or two ahead of time.
LOL!!!!!!!!
My favorite holiday ever. Ever!!
~ooops...i think i may have celebrated festivus a few days early...hehehe...i happened to let my feelings come out a bit to soon!!! love it! warm holiday wishes and brightest blessings to you and yours~
one year when mojo was about 9-10 she decided to be the comedian..and right when we were sitting down to eat she says "I think you all are A-holes...let the party begin."..
I laughed so hard.
So that is what Festivus is!
Happy Festivus!
Happy Festivus!
I got the Solstice Carols the other day....thank you!!
Meatloaf with all the trimmings. One of my favorites. Always reminds me of the movie "A Christmas Story". That's the only thing the mom seems to make, and it looks so good that I always run out for the ingredients and make it for my family

lol lol- oh yes, who would miss the airing of grievances..snort x 1566...............Happy Festivus you beautiful woman !
too much fun being had up there in Canada!!!
Oh, I like the "Air of Grievances" although I don't wait for any damn holiday to say that to my family...Hmmm, perhaps that's why I'm not invited to have a nice and "normal" holiday dinner ;)
My favorite one is 'you both suck for different reasons' And the kitten is adorable. :)
Blessings Fiona
