Festivus for the Rest of Us
December 21, 2009
12/21/2009
George's dad
brandishes a Festivus pole
on a 1997 episode of
Seinfeld
.
If you're like
Hansen and Tommy
and are tired and fed up with the holidays, you'll be happy to know the holiday known as
Festivus
is quickly approaching. Ode to joy. The celebration dates to an episode of
Seinfeld
which aired during the show's final season on
December 18, 1997
, though according to
Seinfeld
, Festivus was first observed in 1965.
The minimalist holiday involves two or more people gathering around a pole or stick (usually aluminum) for an annual
Airing of Grievances
, at which time the person holding the pole tells others how they have fallen short or failed them over the past year. After a meal, participants wrestle the head of the household to the floor in what is known as the
Feat of Strength
. So if you're the head of the household, watch your back this Christmas season as you dive in for an extra helping of cookies and eggnog.
