Today is special, the eve of Christmas Eve. No, not because of Christmas, but because of the secular holiday of Festivus.
For those of you unfamiliar with Festivus it is a holiday that is celebrated today (December, 23). This holiday is a replacement for whichever holiday you celebrate during the festive season. Festivus does not have the commercialism or pressure around it that the other holidays do. It has been made famous by the classic TV show Seinfeld.
The holiday made its starring role in the Seinfeld episode “The Strike” in 1997.
