Hi yall,
I thought to myself Festivus is almost here. I thought I was going to be able to say Happy Festivus on Facebook so i thought nothing of it when I asked my dad for permission. He said no and he will kick me out if I do. He says I am trying to be provocative by posting it but I dont celebrate Xmas for religious reasons. Like I will still listen to Xmas music and have gifts but thats the extent of it. My dad requires I run all my FB posts by him or he will kick me out so Dad will kick me out if I say Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us on Facebook. Crying. I dont want to be homeless for the 22nd time especially during Xmas time.

It's a secular, sort of parody holiday some people celebrate because they feel Christmas is too commercialized and puts pressure on people. It is based off an episode of Seinfeld.

I'm sorry that your dad has to be such a tool.

Sweet Pea hugs
