Festivus: Happy Hour, Reasonable Grievances

What’s the deal with airing grievances over tacos?

The lights are tangled, the patio heaters are humming, and the grievances aren’t going to air themselves.

The holidays are coming fast: lists ignored, cheer half‑assembled, and expectations already too high. So before the season swallows us whole, let’s gather for one last airing of grievances.

Think of it as a pre‑holiday purge: clear the slate, laugh at the absurdities, and start the festivities with nothing left unsaid.

We’ll be on the side patio, enjoying $5 food and drinks, sharing complaints both petty and profound, and pretending we’re not already behind on wrapping paper. No feats of strength. No ornaments. Just the quiet hum of shared discontent, a pole, and maybe a taco.

Bring:

• One (1) grievance
• Five (5) dollars (give or take if you want to have the nacho fries AND guac)
• Zero (0) expectations

Optional: a scarf, a leftover candy cane, and absolutely no tinsel (we find it distracting)

Stop by for 10 minutes or stay the whole time. Either way, we’ll pretend this was always the plan.

Still doing nothing. Just with a slightly more ceremonial pole… and a happy hour menu.
