It's a Festivus Miracle -- Happy Festivus, My Friends!

This Seinfeld episode is so funny, just the word "Festivus" said aloud inspires smiles and laughter from strangers on the street, and definitely Mike Doe. Hopefully it causes a similar reaction in you, or will after you've seen this video.

So Happy Festivus to you, your friends and family! I hope you enjoy this Costanza family tradition and perhaps make it your own. Oh, and be sure your Festivus pole is all ready, and your grievances against your friends and relatives all written out. For the "Airing of Grievances" shallt wait for no man, woman or child!

I think I have too many grievances to air in one sitting. But for starters, what's with that writer's strike. Buck it up kids! We need our tv back! If not, I'll have to start acting out my own episodes of Three's Company: Jan Strikes Back.

My other grievance is movies where you can't understand the dialogue. Billy Eliot anybody? What the heck was that movie about anyway? All I know is some miner's kid really seemed to like dancing....

Nora Wiles (norawheels in Twitter),

I admire your commitment to the spirit of Festivus. However, the traditional preamble to the Airing of Grievances is, "I got a lotta problems with you people!"

And the traditions must be observed. Or perhaps you want to settle it over The Feats of Strength?

Hmmmm... Me and the writer's guild in a feat of strength. Ha! Their idea of a take down is probably a double entendre-pun-zinger to boot. Bring it, Verrone.

My money is on YOU, Nora! Remember, you'll be fighting under Festivus rules. In other words: anything goes! Attack the legs a few times, and you're sure to win.

I just waxed up the stripper pole and called it Festivus. ;)

The one thing that keeps me from celebrating Festivus is George Costanza.
Something about Jason Alexander makes me want to stab him in the neck with a meat fork. He's even higher on my list of Celebrity Men Who Should Be Smothered In Their Sleep than Ben Stiller.

AAAh Christmas. Really brings out the best in me. heehee

Aaah aka_monty,

Rough day of Festivus shopping?

"Come on, fight your father...this is the best Festivus ever!" I forgot about Festivus, man that's funny!

I am Dalton, former head bouncer at the Double Deuce in Jasper, Missouri.

Festivus combines two things I like: brutal honesty and brutal violence. The only problem is that they don't take the fight outside.
