Can anyone provide the accurate date?

The Festivus FAQ.

• Who invented Festivus?

Frank Costanza.

• What is the reason Frank invented Festivus?

    Frank "invented" Festivus after getting into a fight in a
    toy store when 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.

• When does Festivus take place?

December 23rd.

• What's with that wrestling thing?

    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.

• What is the pole made out of? How big is it? Was it passed around or mounted or what is the deal?

    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.

• What about the insults?

    That's another Festivous tradition, "The Airing of Grievances".
    Before commencing Festivus dinner, you go around the table telling
    each other participant about all of the ways they have disappointed
    you throughout the year.

• What does the Festivus meal consist of?

    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. (Open to interpretation)

• Who can celebrate Festivus?

    Anyone at all.  It's nondenominational.  The practical answer,
    however, is that only Seinfeld fans can *truly* celebrate Festivus.
;)

• Any other elements which I may not have inquired about would be greatly appreciated!

    Well, I think we've just about covered it.  Oh, except for the
    occasional 'Festivus miracle' that's been known to happen.

    I put my Festivus pole up in November.
    Like to get an early start.
