LOL, these memes are so funny! But as we prepare to celebrate Festivus 2019 on December 23, people have already begun their preparations for the day. Enthusiasts have started making the Festivus pole, which counters the traditional Christmas Tree. Festivus is a celebration for the people who are done with the commercialisation of Christmas and oppose this popular holiday.
