A Festivus for the rest of us.
That is how the idea of Festivus came to be, the brainchild of Frank Costanza on the legendary NBC sitcom “Seinfeld.” Constanza, during a shopping frenzy attempting to find a Christmas gift for his son George, found himself “raining blows” upon another shopper in an effort to secure the coveted toy for his son.
As an alternative to the commercialism of the Christmas holiday season, the elder Costanza created Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us. Celebrated every 23rd of December, the “holiday” has ritualistic practices such as the “Airing of Grievances,” the “Festivus Miracles,” and the “Feats of Strength.”
So let’s gather around the Festivus pole and celebrate the holiday, NFL style.
