During the holiday season of expressing gratitude, it is necessary for one’s own sanity to set aside time for self-care by practicing the time-honored Festivus tradition of the “Airing of Grievances.” Festivus began in 1966 as an alternative to the commercialism of Christmas. Author Daniel O’Keefe created the holiday. His son, Dan O’Keefe, popularized Festivus […]
