December 23rd should be a statutory holiday.

It's time for Canadians to unite around the Festivus pole (requires no decoration; we find tinsel distracting) without fear of persecution.

Please consider this petition as the ultimate feat of strength - let's show our politicians that from coast-to-coast, Canadians need an extra day during the holiday season to air their grievances.

To the loyal believers who sign our petition, a donation* will be made in your name to the Human Fund.

The Canadian work force deserves this. A Festivus for the rest of us!

*All proceeds to Art Vandelay.
