Festivus Maximus - Frank's Festivus in The Kansas City Star

Festivus maximus
‘Seinfeld’-inspired holiday ‘for the rest of us’ catches on
By STACY DOWNS
The Kansas City Star

"...This year, Francis Court of Washington, D.C., started selling 6-foot-tall aluminum poles for $37.50 plus shipping and handling.

“I was inspired by the leg lamp from ‘A Christmas Story,’ ” says Court, whose day job is in governmental accounting. “I think Festivus has that same classic quality. ‘Seinfeld’ is going to be in reruns forever, like ‘I Love Lucy.’ ”

James' Airing of Grievances...

In reply to my recent post James Ball said...

Hmmm, that air date doesn't sound right to me...Thursday is the 15th, not the 16th. After searching several TV guides and the TBS website, I can't find mention of "The Strike" being shown anytime in the next week.

Perhaps it's time for the Airing of Grievances...


Thank you for the correction. I actually clipped those dates off of the TBS website. After seeing James' comment I went to the same site and the dates had indeed been changed to read:

It's that time of year again. Time to get out THE FESTIVUS POLE and prepare for the feats of strength. Are you ready for the airing of grievances? Don't let your loved ones off the hook, it's time to pay the piper!

Tune in for two full hours of Festivus frivolity and celebrate the holiday like no other with Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine.

It's Festivus, for the rest of us!

Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like a bare aluminum pole. None of that messy tinsel, shiny ornaments or lights. It's all about minimalism - no gifts, no songs and certainly no yuletide cheer.
Forget the carols and the cookies. Let me air my grievances and dig into a fruitcake so hard I might lose a tooth, or two. Give me that good ole' non-denominational fake holiday that originated from a television sitcom and somehow became part of the December holiday tradition. Give me a Festivus for the rest of us...


As December 23 comes ever closer THE FESTIVUS POLE is still available for fast home delivery at http://www.thefestivuspole.com/
