According to a December 13, 2010 ABA Journal article by Martha Neil, the holiday of Festivus, made famous by Frank Costanza in Seinfeld, was recognized as a valid holiday in a court Order issued by a California Superior Court in a case involving a prison inmate's religious rights. Here's the link to the article:

Here's the link to a short clip from the Seinfeld episode in which the history of Festivus is described:
For all you closet Festivus celebrators, you now have the recognition you have been looking for with the Order issued by the California Superior Court. Feel free to break out your unadorned aluminum Festivus pole ("I find tinsel distracting.") into the living room and publicly practice your "Airing of Grievances," and "Feats of Strength."
Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us.
