12 Blogs of Christmas: Festivus miracles all around us

The 12 Blogs of Christmas, featuring stocking stuffer-sized holiday stories about pop culture and beyond will run each weekday leading up to Christmas Eve. You can find all of them on The Feed blog.

Festivus is almost here, and 2016 will no doubt be a banner year for the airing of grievances.

If you're not woke on Festivus, it's the secular alternative to Christmas that Seinfeld writer Dan O'Keefe popularized in the classic 1997 episode, The Strike. O'Keefe's dad actually came up with it in the '60s, according to O'Keefe's book, The Real Festivus.

Festivus celebrations involve an unadorned metal pole, feats of strength, the airing of grievances from the previous year and a dinner (generally meatloaf).

Let's catch up on the latest Festivus news:
