Festivus

From Wikipedia:

Festivus was invented in 1966 when the father of Daniel O’Keefe, future “Seinfeld” writer, crafted a unique family holiday with untraditional practices such as the wrestling of the household head to the ground. O'Keefe introduced the holiday into “Seinfeld” lore in 1997, and a cult phenomenon was born. According to O'Keefe, the only tradition that was made up by the show’s writers was the decorated Festivus pole – everything else was taken directly from his family celebrations.

From his family celebrations? They must resemble my family's.

P.S. The spirit of Festivus may have been present at this bizarre office party.
