It's a Festivus Miracle!
"With neither time nor money to find our first Festivus pole, a miracle has happened letting us know this move to Festivus from Hanukkah is the right one.
Goddamn shower curtain fell on my head. And again! Freaking cheap bast**d Target tension rod. Ouch!
Replaced today, and on the way to the trash with the old one realized the potential of what I was holding! It isn't regulation length but boy does half a shower curtain rod work GREAT!
I know it's not quite the thing to do but I did find an antique and requested glass doorknob in my garden which I stuck on the top. I made a Happy Festivus sign, taped in on the pole and stuck the grand thing in a flower pot on my front porch!
Festivus! Festivus! Festivus!... "
Happy Festivus!
"Happy Festivus" is the traditional greeting of Festivus a holiday featured in "The Strike" episode of Seinfeld. The episode first aired on December 18, 1997. Since then many people have been inspired by the goodness of the Seinfeld holiday and they now celebrate Festivus as any other holiday.
According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23rd. However many people celebrate it other times in December and even at other times throughout the year.
The original slogan of Festivus is "A Festivus for the rest of us!" Instead of a tree an unadorned aluminum pole is used, in contrast to normal holiday materialism. Those attending Festivus may also participate in the "Airing of Grievances" which is an opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year, followed by a Festivus dinner, and then completed by the "Feats of Strength" where the head of the household must be pinned. All of these traditions are based upon the events in the Seinfeld episode.
History in brief
While it first came to the attention of most of America by way of the Seinfeld episode, the celebration of a holiday called Festivus is part of human history throughout the ages, most notably in ancient Rome, nineteenth-century California, and upstate New York in the 1960s.
By December 2004, when Allen Salkin's article about Festivus as a real holiday appeared in the New York Times, thousands of people around the world were celebrating Festivus with parties, grievance-airing, pole-erecting, beer-brewing and the invention of new Festivus rituals.
