B/C Lord knows I would hate to offend anyone (GASP!)....... If this word becomes common usage soon it would not surprise me so everyone needs a introduction to it.

[kwm]

Oh my God I am so sorry would you like to piss and moan first or sue me now.

But what is Festivus?

[kwm]

Before you say it to me, I know I am a idiot rascist fool for having to ask in the first place.

Are you wrestling this year? I'm taking this year off so my nephew can share in the tradition.

Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23, but many people celebrate it other times, often in early December. Its slogan is "A Festivus for the rest of us!!" An aluminium pole is generally used in lieu of a Christmas tree or other holiday decoration, shedding holiday materialism. Those attending participate in the "Airing of Grievances" in which each person tells each and everyone else all the ways they've disappointed him/her over the past year, and after a Festivus dinner, The "Feats of Strength" are performed. Traditionally, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned.

Would a good sized aluminum pole not cost you more than a pine tree anyway.? So this is just a spin off of or actually the same thing as from Seinfeld right? Does Kosmo Kramer by chance celebrate this? I just saw his recently stand up comedy show that hit the airways. What hoot...

Damnit! First the darn christians steal our winter festival and turn it into Christmas, lets face it nobody is sure what day Jesus was born on so they borrow the 25th (the date of the old Pagan festival) how conveiniant, then they replace our cheery sacrifices under a tree (both human and animal) with gifts, how dull.

Now the PC mob want to make it a totally inclusive festival for everyone. Bah and indeed humbug!

[rouxroux]

But you see, the pole can be used year-round!

[DonDavis]

Dood! I am SO ready for the "Airing of Grievances". You folks are getting an earful from me!

[kwm]

So let me get this straight AFTER the airing of grievances you fight it out? Cool. Any beer involved?

[Steve PH]

Actualy I totaly aprove of the Seinfeld pole thing. I feel I need to try this with my relatives, its about time we were completely brutaly honest with each other!

[kwm]

Telling the in-laws how you feel about them is probably not a good idea unless you live in somekid of a Everybody Loves Raymond episode
