7 Things that Disappointed Me in 2013

I love Festivus for one reason and one reason only: The Airing of the Grievances. I mean, what a wonderful, sensible way to kick off a special time of year with family and friends and blahdy-blah-blah - by getting a heap of stuff that has been bothering you ALL YEAR LONG off of your chest. You automatically feel lighter and freer and even prettier, I think! While Festivus is normally celebrated on Dec. 23, it can also make for a great New Year's Eve tradition! My kids are still too young, but I really cannot wait until we can all sit down next to the fireplace each year as a family and unload our major gripes and complaints about this cruel world onto each other's shoulders. (Actually, I suppose that could be Thanksgiving dinner too, but whatever.) Anyway, enough with the nonsense. Let's get down to it. Here, in all of its opinionated glory, is my Airing of the Grievances for the year 2013. -By Serge Bielanko
