| NintendoPie said: So Festivus is basically a "Free Holiday"? |
Festivus is a made up holiday, created by the father of one of the writers or producer of Seinfeld, who was/is a sociologist. It was meant to be a free floating holiday that ended up in an episode of Seinfeld and fans took to it. It now serves as something you can plug in as a neutral holiday, in order to just have a reason to get together. You can mold it into pretty much what you want, and no one really owns it. There is a basic structure to it, that can be modified. I would say it best for people to go and research a bit on it. But here is Wikipedia on the subject:

That goes into the basic form, but it is very flexible in what can be done with it.
