Festivus Day

By
Home Builder with Owners' Ace

That’s right, it’s almost December 23rd , known the world over as Festivus Day.  If you don’t know about Festivus Day then you’re probably too young to have been a regular Seinfeld viewer.  Possibly one of the funniest episodes was George Costanza’s attempt to explain Festivus Day, which was created by his dad in an effort to celebrate the holiday season without all the commercialism. 

Sounds reasonable, right?  After all, didn’t this year's Black Friday holiday sales start an entire day early on Thanksgiving Day?!?!

Yet the Festivus Day rituals from this Seinfeld episode are really what makes it all come together.  There is the unadorned aluminum pole, instead of a Christmas Tree, and practices like the “Airing of Grievances” and “Feats of Strength”.  Then there is Kramer declaring even the most explainable events “Festivus Miracles”.

Whether you’ve seen it before or not, here are some of the more classic moments from that Seinfeld Festivus episode.  Enjoy and Happy Festivus Day!

Ha! Whenever I see over the top holiday lights - in a BAD way - I always say they are festivus - seems nicer than saying they decorate hideously. LOL
