It may be a getaway day for many politics watchers, but that didn't stop Sen. Rand Paul from taking to Twitter to celebrate the parody holiday of "Festivus" on Tuesday.

The likely presidential hopeful poked fun at politicos on both sides of the aisle, participating via his half-million-follower-strong Twitter feed in the satirical tradition of the "Airing of Grievances" -- made famous in a 1997 episode of "Seinfeld."

And he even made a reference to his possible 2016 presidential bid.

Here's a sampling of the Kentucky senator's storm of Tweets:

Christmas is a time for joy. For sharing blessings w/family & friends. It is not a time to air grievances. That's what #Festivus is for. — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

I've got a lot of problems with you people (mostly in DC), and today you're going to hear about it! Stayed tuned for #Festivus grievances — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

First, politics in general: As a Doctor, I was trained first to do no harm. Wouldn't it be nice if politicians started from that premise? — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

But we get"politics is the art of looking 4 trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly&applying wrong remedies." #Festivus — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

Last year in the spirit of #Festivus, I reached out to @CoryBooker complaining he didn't RT me enough. He still doesn't by the way. But... — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

We discussed hemp, med marijuana, crim justice reform. Some of that has now passed, all of it we've worked on together this year #Festivus — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

No matter how many times I ask @Team_Mitch, he won't let me borrow this awesome sweater vest pic.twitter.com/VACHu6RdVY — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

Of course, everyone has to be themselves, and I have my own style. I think this will be a popular item this year pic.twitter.com/ejuPwOAb6E — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

Tempting to air a grievance @marcorubio again, but we've done that enough for this week. Instead I will say an early Merry Christmas. — Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2014

Paul wrote that he'll be back later Tuesday afternoon with further grievances against the media.
