Wishing you a Happy Festivus!
Prying into the various deviations of this month’s theme of ‘Festivus’— inquisitive about the matters of the holiday season beyond the holydays, like the special sentimentality behind ‘The Time of Airing Grievances’, and the rituals of group national anthem singing at midnight—Provokátor features the following:
