Looking forward to the airing of the grievances.

I air my grievances out all year long, so there's not too much to get through on Festivus 😌

You disappoint me using a US pop culture reference. (Am I doing this right?)

I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!

Boy, has the need to escape the commercialization of Christmas only increased since 1997 (eg, black Friday). Thankfully, there's a Festivus for the rest of us, of course. I did some holiday shopping today, and didn't face much busyness and crowdedness. It was a Festivus miracle

I’ve been going with “happy winter solstice!”

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago

Well, Happy Solstice, naturally ☺️ but Solstice (winter for those in the north :) is Dec 21st, whereas Festivus is Dec 23rd. More holidays = better :D

A compromise I can live with.

I’ve been quite active lately at work, so I expect to perform quite well at the feats of strength.

Will someone call all of the ambulances?

I'm sick of Canada being better than us. I want America to stop fucking sucking.

[–] deege@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

That must have been some doll.

Are gonna do feats of strength too? Happy Festivus and Mery Christmas for the rest.

Ps: I liked from that episode Elaine saying "Hey, I was in a shvitz for 6 hours. Give me a break."
