Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Festivus!!!!

Yesterday my friends and I celebrated Festivus! Last year, Sam and I were at Jacob's on December 23, and Sam said he wanted to celebrate Festivus. We invited more people over, and we aired grievances. This is when you tell each person how they have disappointed over the last year. Well, people started to get a little bit too mean, and so then we had a compliment circle. This was so much fun last year that we decided to do it again!

It was held at my house, and not only did we have The Airing of Grievances, we had Feats of Strength where the head of household has to be pinned before Festivus can end. Sam was our head of household. Taylor and Driggs both tried to pin him, but Zach is the one who succeeded. Our Grievances were not as mean this year, and we said a compliment to each person after sharing our grievance.

I mostly just liked being with everyone again! We all hung out the whole Christmas Break last year, but we are all busy and that is not possible this year. But yesterday was just like old times and it was great. The only difference I noticed is that almost everyone was much more mature while airing grievances. I was very impressed. It was such a fun evening!
