"Happy Festivus" is the traditional greeting of Festivus, a holiday featured in the Season 9 episode of Seinfeld named "The Strike", which first aired on December 18, 1997. Since then, many people have been inspired by this zany, offbeat Seinfeld holiday and now celebrate Festivus as any other holiday.
According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated on December 23rd.

I'll post the answer below (no peaking).
The four main components of a Festivus celebration: the Festivus Pole, the Airing of Grievances, the Festivus Dinner, the Feats of Strength.
The aluminum pole is important because of its high strength to weight ratio. That’s very symbolic to us Festuvians.
“ I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. “

Yes. This is made very clear early in the festivities.
George: Happy Festivus.
Frank: George. This is a surprise. Who’s the suit?
George: Dad, this is my boss Mr. Kruger.
Frank: Have you seen the pole Kruger?
George: No, he doesn’t need to see the pole.
Frank: He’s gonna see it.
Frank: It’s made from aluminum. Very high strength to weight ratio.
Kruger: I find your belief system fascinating.
What would they have to say about Christmas? Why would anyone care?

Why would anyone care about any comedy? To escape from the troubles of the world for awhile, and have a few laughs.
I find tinsel distracting.
It’s at least as legit as Kwanzaa.
Personally I believe God chose the Jews for comedic purposes among others.
Because it had excellent writers and was funny as all get out. Unless, of course, if you don't like to laugh. Then stick to Jerry Lewis....
You sound like a anti-dentite!
Tried to like Seinfeld but it was too New York and the characters too nerdy, too neurotic, and utterly PW’d.
As for an atheistic holiday, they already had Winter Solstice & other Stonehenge stuff.
`It’s Garry Schandling’s Show’ was much better urban comedy, IMO. He raised neuroticism to an art form.
And probably refused to wear his AIDS ribbon.
We actually got soup from the Soup Nazi after the episode aired.
Bread? Or no bread?
Bread- we followed all the Nazi’s rules!
