Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood blog will once again sponsor Ridgewood’s Annual “Festivus” on December 23rd. Since 2009 the Ridgewood blog has sponsored the nations number one Festivus celebrations . The “Festivus ” starts at sundown.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current plan is subject to change, based on what occurs with the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming weeks
Festivus was created as an alternative holiday in response to the commercialization of Christmas. Or perhaps it was created by cheap skates looking for a good excuse to duck present buying !
Festivus is traditionally is celebrated on December 23rd and is accompanied but not necessarily by heavy drinking and cigar smoking .
Rituals :
Festivus Pole
The tradition of Festivus begins with an aluminum pole. During Festivus, the Festivus Pole is displayed unadorned.
Festivus Dinner
A celebratory dinner is held on the evening of Festivus prior to the Feats of Strength and during the Airing of Grievances. The meal is to be some sort of meatloaf.
Airing of Grievances
The celebration of Festivus begins with Airing of Grievances, a local favorite . Airing of Grievances 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. Every household has its own traditions; in one house, the Airing of Grievances consisted of writing the grievances on the fridge with post it notes . The Ridgewood blog will publish “Grievances ” for the entire day of December 23rd.
Feats of Strength
The Feats of Strength is the final tradition observed in the celebration of Festivus, celebrated immediately following the Festivus dinner. Traditionally, 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, such as pull a double shift at work. In recent years “Feats of Strength” can include board games ,darts, horseshoes ,twister and or spin the bottle.
Festivus Miracles
Although it is not an official element of the holiday or its celebration, the phenomenon of the Festivus Miracle ! Generally surviving the experience is considered a miracle in itself.

Hello Billy
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Here we go, the same rat pack. Do you remember when you were talking about the morning .
That was a pretty interesting conversation
I will be singing, merry Christmas,
Don’t you mean Happy Holiday not Happy Festivus?
Or is Christmas the only Holiday of which we do not speak?
Well, of course! That’s why we have Jingle Bells, and Red-Nosed Reindeers, and Santa Claus coming to town … the commercial aspect must be preserved at all costs, but the Christ part must be totally purged. I wonder why. Do you wonder why? I’m not even a Christian, but it’s plain as day to me.
