One Havertown home has given a voice to everyone’s 2020 grievances before the year is out with a Festivus box outside their home, writes Chris O’Connell for fox29.vom.

“It’s a holiday for everyone else. It’s a time to air your grievances and get everything off your chest,” organizer Katie McByrne said.

The Brookline Blvd. home is celebrating Festivus, a Dec. 23 secular holiday that takes on the commercialism of  Christmas.  The holiday was made famous on a “Seinfeld “episode.

The holiday features a Festivus dinner, a Festivus pole and the “Airing of Grievances.”

The home has a Festivus pole and a box where people can air their grievances.

“People love it. They stop. Come look at the house, park their car. They put a grievance in the box and go on with their day it’s great,” organizer Brian Friend said.

Every grievance is matched with a donation to the local charity, the Kevin Cain Foundation, which supports families of cancer patients.

Over the past three or four weeks, the box has been filled and emptied three times. Not surprisingly, many of grievances were about the pandemic.
