It's that time of year again! It's FESTIVUS! A time to Air Your Grievances and demonstrate your greatest Feat of Strength.



In case you never heard,

Festivus (/ˈfɛstɪvəs/) is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Originally created by author Daniel O'Keefe, Festivus entered popular culture after it was made the focus of the 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike", which O'Keefe's son, Dan O'Keefe, co-wrote.

The non-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld, occurs on December 23 and includes a Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, practices such as the "airing of grievances" and "feats of strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles".[3] The episode refers to it as "a Festivus for the rest of us".

There has to be a drunk uncle somewhere using that as a stripper pole after a few holiday drinky-poos




Merry Christmas, Sook

I know, I know, I know. I went shopping for a Festivus Pole on Goggle, and this one caught my eye, and I just HAD TO have it, even though it's adorned.

It's the rebel in me that makes me do it!

That "Pole" with no branches looks like it's a victim of inflation and high gas prices 😎😃
