Many Christmas's 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 him, he thought there could be another way. The doll was destroyed, but out of that, a new holiday
was born. It was called Festivus. No, not feminist, Festivus. A Festivus for the Rest-iv-us..........
December 23rd
The Holiday Itself...
During the last few weeks in December when
Festivus takes place, families and friends get together at the dinner table and have something called "the Airing of Grievances".
During this time, we share with families and friends all the ways they had disappointed over the past year.
After the Airing of Grievances, we get together
right in that same night to do something called "Feats of Strength". This is where the head of the household tests his/her
strength with another friend or family member. The great honor is given out to a different person each year.
Now for the pole. No it is not
a tree. A pole, no decorations. Frank Costanza believes that tinsel is very distracting so there are no decorations.
The pole is tall, silver, hollow, long, skinny, and heavy.
In honor of the holiday, Kramerica
Industries made a donation to the Human Fund. Click on the donation form below to visit the National Human Fund Page.
