Happy Festivus

By Jake • December 23rd, 2008 • 6 Comments

The Festivus Pole from the Seinfeld episode "The Strike"What? You’ve never heard of Festivus? It’s the holiday for the rest of us.

As a pop culture nut and an old school fan of Seinfeld, I couldn’t let December 23 slip by without wishing you all a Happy Festivus. I suppose while we’re here, I might as well wish you a happy holiday, whichever it is that you celebrate.

Festivus is a long-standing meme, with lots of content all over the ‘tubes. The Wikipedia entry is pretty good, and the Urban Dictionary has a funny collection of “definitions” also.

I’ll be posting sporadically, in case you’re wondering. Although, I’m sure you’ll be reading sporadically, so no worries.

Anyway, have a safe, restful and enjoyable holiday season.

Now for the airing of grievances.

    Personally, my favorite part of Festivus is the feats of strength. Happy Festivus to you too!

    Grab the pole from the crawl space. No decorations necessary. Nice and simple.
