Got my metal pole up, told my roomate how dissapointed I am with him, and we’re wrestling tomorrow. Anyone else celebrating?
We’ll be celebrating Festivus later today.
Talk about spooky coincidence. The day after this subject came up on a previous thread, Los Angeles Channel 13 (KCOP) aired the Seinfeld festivus episode.
Got our annual Festivus party tonight. Huge 8-foot aluminum pole from our marquee tent. Tried two weeks ago to get some Ben & Jerry’s Festivus Ice Cream (not available here) ordered in as a surprise; hasn’t arrived.
Unless there’s a Festivus miracle in the next 12 hours, at least I’ll have something to bring up at the Airing of Grievances…
Shall we begin with the airing of grievances?
Well, my grievance is that NO ONE I know is having a Festivus party. That’s so awesome!
Harrumph. I’ll just have to throw one myself - next year. That would be cool.
No, it was invented by George’s father, Frank (Jerry Stiller), as a protest against the commercialism of Xmas. The memory of it haunts George into his adulthood (as does almost everything he went through in his youth!).
And, since no one has seen fit to mention it yet:
“Festivus! The Holiday for the Rest of Us!”
I have my Festivus pole up at work, and I’ve started the “Airing of Grievances” in a Livejournal community I belong to. Later on today will be the “Feats of Strength”. Happy Festivus everyone!
Serenity Now!
Who wants a card? Send me your e-mail, and I will send one out today.

It’s a FESTIVUS for the REST-OF-US!!!
I’m going to share some scotch with the pole, to see which one of us will fall down first.
Wow, I’m such a dork. I could pretend to have known that this was all made up, and go on my merry way, but I have to pop in and say, that ever since I’ve heard of it, I’ve thought it was some old druid(ish or something) holiday that was gaining popularity as an alternative… gah.
My fascist boss wouldn’t give me the day off for Festivus; I’ll just have to be non-traditional and observe the holiday two days late.
Well, I’m proud to report we had some Feats of Strength and celebrated the holiday properly!
Simmons, my son tells me that your posts stink. You couldn’t smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a… ahh… … I lost my train of thought :smack:
Let me start over… What I mean is, I don’t think the Festivus episode airing near Christmas time would be a coincidence 
Unless you’re describing something that happened awhile ago…
