Perhaps a Festivus should be called?

"In the original O'Keefe tradition, the holiday would take place in
response to family tension, "any time from December to May... The
celebration of Festivus begins with the "Airing of Grievances", which
takes place immediately after the Festivus dinner has been served. It
consists of each person lashing out at others and the world about how
they have been disappointed in the past year."
