It's that Festivus time of year, which means it's time to embrace our inner 'Bah Humbug' by unloading pent-up resentment, anger and frustrations.
What is the meaning of Festivus?
In protest of Christmas’ commercialism, George Costanza's father, Frank Costanza, puts up an unadorned aluminum pole instead of a tree. The metal, he says admiringly, has a “very high strength-to-weight ratio.”The “Seinfeld” Festivus episode developed from series writer Dan O’Keefe’s childhood experiences. His father invented the holiday in the 1960s.
The official Festivus dish is meatloaf, according to the"Seinfeld" episode titled the"The Strike." Serve it to guests atop a bed of lettuce.According to the"Seinfeld" model, there are four main traditions associated with observing Festivus. Then there's the"airing of grievances," in which family members and those in attendance get a chance to share pent-up feelings towards each other over the past year.
