5. Festivus summary
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 09:36 PM by indigobusiness

Many a Christmas ago, Frank Costanza went to buy a doll for his son. He went to reach for it (because it was the last one), but so did another man – and as Frank rained blows upon the poor fellow, he thought that there must be another way. The doll was destroyed, but out of that, a new holiday was born. It was called Festivus.



During the last few weeks in December (when Festivus takes place), families and friends get together at the dinner table and engage in what is called the “Airing of Grievances.” During this time, we share with our friends and family members all of the ways they disappointed us over the past year.

After the Airing of Grievances, we get together for the "Feats of Strength.” This is where the head of the household tests his strength with another friend or family member. The great honor is given out to a different person each year. This year, Cosmo Kramer was given the honor, but turned it down, calling upon George Costanza to fill in for him as he had an appointment.

Festivus celebrations require a hollow, metal pole in place of a tree.
Frank Costanza believed that tinsel was very distracting, thus there are no decorations.
Traditionally, Festivus Poles are tall, silver, hollow, long, skinny, and heavy.
In honor of this holiday, Kramerica Industries made a donation to the Human Fund under the names of all their employees.

7. If you meant Festivus the ice cream
It is caramel and ginger bread and yumminess that is rarely found... tastes like Christmas in your mouth!
