Happy Festivus!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

A Festivus for the rest of us!!!!
Dont forget to get your Aluminum pole out! 🙂

Festivus Pole!

The Festivus celebration includes four major components:

* The Festivus Pole: The Costanzas’ tradition begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises for its “very high strength-to-weight ratio.” During Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, because it is “very low-maintenance,” and also because the holiday’s patron, Frank Costanza, “find[s] tinsel distracting.” Local customs vary and you may be able to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain decorations, or ordinary green garland.

* Festivus Dinner: The Festivus dinner menu is flexible, but it should be filling non-holiday comfort food (no turkey, duck, goose, or ham). The televised dinner featured what may have been meatloaf or spaghetti in a red sauce. (Presumably, an entree in a red sauce is more festive.) Although no alcohol was served at the Costanza’s dinner, Kruger drank from his flask, so alcohol is optional.

* The Airing of Grievances: At the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.

* The Feats of Strength: The head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head’s choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead. Other, imaginative, Feats of Strength have been developed, including washer tossing.
