A Festivus for the rest of us!
'Tis the season to celebrate the people's holiday - Festivus! Born out of the creative mind of Frank Constanza, Festivus has taken the country by storm. The 3 pillars of Festivus are
  • The Festivus Pole - The pole is aluminum, chosen due to its very high strength-to-weight ratio, and is never decorated (this stems from founder Frank Costanza's belief that "tinsel is distracting").
  • The Airing of Greivances - Festivus devotees inform all those in attendance how they disappointed him the year before. It is also a time to report any ongoing problem or irritation that one is having with anyone else celebrating at the dinner.
  • Feats of Strength - the head of the household (or the host of the Festivus dinner) challenges one of the guests to a test of physical strength. The challenger may choose anyone as an opponent and a challenge may not be refused unless, of course, the challenged has a previous engagement.
(Quotes from A Large Regular.)

Happy Festivus!
