I almost forgot. Today is December 23rd. Christmas Eve Eve. But it is also Festivus! A Festivus for the Rest of Us.
So join in the Festivus spirit! Air your grievances! Use this thread to lash out against friends, family, the world, President Bush or your ever devoted writers at Delaware Liberal.
For your holiday enjoyment, please relive the origin of Festivus:
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!
George Costanza: Oh, God.
Frank Costanza: And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year!
Cosmo Kramer: And is there a tree?
Frank Costanza: No, instead, there’s a pole. It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting. It’s made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.
