Today is Festivus, a made-up holiday introduced to the world in 1997 on an episode of “Seinfeld.” Read more about it here.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took to Twitter this morning to “air his grievances” against the other candidates. Here were some of his best tweets:

Good morning and HAPPY #Festivus! I will be airing my grievances soon.

“I’ve got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about them!” #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Donald Trump:

Where to start but @realDonaldTrump. If u bring the Yiddish, know what it means. Guess that’s more of a kvetch than a grievance #Festivus

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

After the debates, @realDonaldTrump always trying to give us parting gifts of his made in China ties. Weird. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Ted Cruz:

My friend @tedcruz has still not pledged to issue exec order declaring Canadian “bacon” is not real bacon. Makes me suspicious. #Festivus

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Ben Carson:

I have no grievances against my fellow doc @RealBenCarson because I have not heard a word he has said in any debate. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Chris Christie:

I think I speak for all in NJ when I say @GovChristie I don’t care how much $ u spend at Met Life, Cowboys fans should stay out. #Festivus

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Marco Rubio:

to my absentee friend @marcorubio, I didn’t put your $170k+ salary in my waste report today. But I could have #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Lindsey Graham:

I hereby retract grievance I was going to air about @GrahamBlog today. Respect for the recently departed #EarlyFestivusPresent #Festivus

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Bernie Sanders:

to my comrade @SenSanders: Unless you’re Santa Claus, Socialism runs out of other people’s money #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton:

.@CarlyFiorina has ZERO trouble making it back from commercial breaks @HillaryClinton. Just saying. #Festivus #waronwomensrooms

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

On Jeb Bush:

.@JebBush is always trying to change the debate rules to allow extra time for awkward pauses in answers. Not gonna happen. #Festivus — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015

This is a tradition Rand Paul participates in every year on Twitter. Check out his “grievances” from last year.
