Likely the traditional way:
At work, they do the Festivus celebration, complete with a custom-fabricated aluminum Festivus post, lovingly made by one of our welders. There are small Grievances forms to fill out and tape to it.
"This year, ___________ has disappointed me in the following ways:
_____________________..."
Then at the company Christmas party, there is the Airing of Grievances where the forms are read, and of course, Feats of Strength, the latter of which generally pits the somewhat diminutive, and self-described "squirrelly", company owner up against one of the larger employees.

As far as Festivus, I'm putting up my pole, then on the 23rd, as tradition dictates, we first have the airing of grievances. Later are the feats of strength.

I think that it should be a national holiday! Hell... It already has more followers and legitimacy than Kwanzaa.
Handing out Man-ssiere's to all the people waiting in line for soup before swimming in the Hudson.
What else?
What else?
My company actually gives us 1 personal holiday. I will be taking Festivus as my celebrated person holiday.
Or you could be like this guy in jail. He claimed "Festivus" as a reason to get kosher meals b/c he didn't like salami sandwhichs.

"SANTA ANA -- A Festivus for the rest of us?
A convicted drug dealer in California thinks so. He cited his adherence to the holiday celebrated on a famous episode of "Seinfeld" to get better meals at the Orange County jail.
The Orange County Register reported Monday that Malcolm Alarmo King disliked the salami meals served at the jail, so he used his devotion to Festivus as a reason to get kosher meals reserved for inmates with religious needs.
Keeping kosher is not one of the tenets of Festivus, which was depicted on "Seinfeld" as celebrated with the airing of grievances and the display of an aluminum pole.
Sheriff's spokesman Ryan Burris says King got salami-free meals for two months before the county got the order thrown out in court.

Silly inmate. You can't avoid getting slipped the salami in jail. Everyone knows this.
As for Festivus, I plan on letting a female friend lovingly erect my pole, after which I may not even have any grievances.
