Festivus got off to a roaring start Friday with the traditional Airing of Grievances.

Don't get it twisted. Though TV this week has fallen victim to an onslaught of Christmas-themed marathons and general sappiness, not everyone cares so much about the alleged birthday of Mr. Christ. Festivus, theSeinfeld holiday parody that has grown into a full-on holiday of its own in the years since "The Strike" first aired, unites all of us secular heathens each and every Dec. 23. Just in case you're an anti-calendar individual, here's a friendly reminder: THAT IS TODAY. FESTIVUS. IS. TODAY.

Considering how unprecedented (unpresidented?) this year's abject shittiness was, Festivus celebrators haven't wasted a single second in kicking off the unholy day's traditional activities. Though the Feats of Strength will likely come later this evening when everyone has a bit more weed and whisky in their respective systems, the Airing of Grievances is already very much in full swing:

On that note, the fact the best movie, "Mad Max: Fury Road", didn't win Best Picture or Best Director #AiringofGrievances
