Casual loose clothing. Remember you are going to be performing feats of strength, so nothing too clingy. Also, on the off chance that the airing of grievances escalates, don’t wear anything that be grabbed and used as a weapon against you. So, not too loose.

Happy Festivus!

Also, don’t wear tinsel. It’s distracting.

Wrap your wanker in aluminum foil?

Which reminds me. I gotta get my festivus pole out in the yard. I decorate with lots of pretty lights but I also put out a festivus pole in the front corner of the yard. I always wonder if anyone gets it.

How did the Festivus celebration go??? Did you win the feats of strength? What was your biggest grievance?

Are we ever going to find out how the festivus celebration went? I’ve never been to one and am genuinely curious.

Anyone else who has gone to one can respond as well!
