Posters provide detailed information about Festivus traditions from "The Strike" episode, including its origin, rituals, and customs like the Airing of Grievances and Feats of Strength.
Help! I need to know the complete elements of Festivus. I know about the airing of the greivances, but what else goes into it? I have been waiting for the episode to re-air but no such luck. Whoever has knowledge of this episode, please answer these questions by e-mailing or posting:
* What is the reason Frank invented Festivus? * What's with that wrestling thing? * What is the pole made out of? How big is it? Was it passed around or mounted or what is the deal? * Who can celebrate Festivus? * When is Festivus celebrated? * What does the Festivus meal consist of?
Any other elements which I may not have inquired about would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, and HAPPY FESTIVUS TO YOU ALL!!! ;-)
Frank "invented" Festivus after getting into a fight in a toy store whe he and another man both grabbed for the last doll. (Frank wanted to buy a doll for George. Go figure.) Anyway, he decided that commercialization ruined Christmas and he would now celebrate Festivus. A Festivus - for the rest of us.
One of the traditions of Festivus is the Feats of Strength where two of the celebrants muct engage in a contest of some sort to determine which is stronger.
The undecorated aluminum pole represented the non-commercial nature of the holiday. No tinsel, no ornaments. It appeared to be approximately 8 or 9 feet tall and was probably placed in a corner of the living room, much like a Christmas tree.
Anyone at all. It's nondenominational. The practical answer, however, is that only Seinfeld fans can *truly* celebrate Festivus. ;)
December 23rd.
Although it wasn't specifically mentioned, the plate Estelle brought into the dining room appeared to be spaghetti OR meatloaf, either topped with red sauce. I'm open to interpretation.
well, I think we've just about covered it. Oh, except for the occasional 'Festivus miracle' that's been known to happen.
