Festivus there for the restivus

Did you get out your aluminum pole and begin to air your grievances?

2013-12-23_2358December 23 was the Festivus date made famous in an episode of Seinfeld, the alternative to Christmas.

It was George’s dad Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller) who celebrated “Festivus for the rest of us” because Christmas had become too commercialised. Festivus is celebrated with a family followed by the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength, and an aluminium pole instead of a tree.

It was Seinfeld writer Daniel O’Keefe, whose own father created the occasion, who co-wrote the episode.
