"Festivus...the Holiday for the Rest of Us"

The Festivus dinner has been a source of conjecture for many years. It has been surmised that it was either spaghetti, or meatloaf with red sauce on the Costanza's table. After searching the internet, I have concluded that spaghetti is the traditional Festivus dinner. Anyone want to fight a religious war over it?

For those of you that don't know it here is the trivia concerning Festivus: Remember there are only 96 more shopping days until Christmas.
Festivus is a nondenominational holiday featured in "The Strike" episode of Seinfeld, a popular American television sitcom of the 1990s. The holiday was a plot device in the episode, which first aired on December 18, 1997. Many people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld, now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness. Some do it religiously, others do it in good tidings in their respect to Seinfeld.
According to Seinfeld, Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23, but many people celebrate it other times, often in early December. Its slogan is "A Festivus for the rest of us!" An aluminium pole is generally used in lieu of a Christmas tree or other holiday decoration, shedding holiday materialism. Those attending participate in the "Airing of Grievances" which is an opportunity for all to vent their hostilities toward each other, and after a Festivus dinner, The Feats of Strength are performed. Traditionally, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and "pinned."

This Festivus thing sounds fun, would it be wrong for me to celebrate it if I've never watched an episode of Seinfeld?
