Amherst police called in to settle 'Festivus' dispute

Amherst police called in to settle 'Festivus' dispute; airing of grievances becomes 'too heated'

AMHERST - When your 'airing of greviances' for Festivus attracts the attention of the police, you're doing Festivus wrong.

Amherst police report that they were called to the area of Antonio's Pizza on North Pleasant Street early Saturday to settle a verbal dispute. Several patrons, who earlier had been to area bars, began discussing Christmas and Festivus.

When the discussion evolved into the airing of greviances, things became too heated and police had to step in to cool things down, according to the Amherst police log.
