Happy Festivus Day ~ 2008

December 23rd
It's time to celebrate!


May all of your grievances be aired,

May your feats of strength be tested,

May you give from your heart to the Human Fund.


Happy Festivus
A holiday for the rest of us!

Happy Festivus Day

If you're a Seinfeld fan .... you're celebrating.

If you're not ... let me explain.

The episode called "The Strike" explains that Frank Costanza started this nondenominational holiday. It's celebrated on December 23rd, called Festivus.


Instead of a tree, there is an aluminum Festivus Pole. No frill, no tinsel, no decorating.





At dinner, the tradition of The Airing of Grievances takes place. This is the time for you to address family members and tell them what they did to disappoint you throughout the year.

Then there is a Feats of Strength contest, which is basically a wrestling match.


George takes donations for a non existing charity "The Human Fund"




"Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us."


Even Ben and Jerry's celebrate this holiday:
It's an episode you really much watch to understand. On second thought ...
