Happy Festivus!

Happy Festivus!

I, along with thousands of other bloggers, wish you a happy Festivus! Festivus is, of course, a holiday created by Seinfeld’s Frank Costanza in response to what he saw as too many commercial and religious aspects of Christmas:

Frank invented a holiday? He’s so prolific!

And later:

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?

Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born . . . a Festivus for the rest of us!

Cosmo Kramer: That must’ve been some kind of doll.

Frank Costanza: She was.

Classic. If you need some help getting you grievences down, please use this airing of grievences worksheet. And the above feats of strength challenge card can also be used for that special someone. So, please, have a happy Festivus!!

Frank: George, Festivus is your heritage - it’s part of who you are.

George: (Sulking) That’s why I hate it.
