Festivus for the Rest of Us

Write a humorous account of a family’s holiday disaster and how they turn it into a fun, non-traditional celebration.

Festivus is a parody holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. What might this look like in a non-standard family setting? Explore the themes of acceptance, creativity, and finding joy in the simplest and sometimes most chaotic of circumstances.
