Festivus 2006

All you Seinfeld fans will understand the gallery title!
For those who aren't fans of Seinfeld (hard to believe),
here's the Wikipedia def:

Festivus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Festivus is a nondenominational holiday featured in "The Strike" episode of Seinfeld, a popular United States based television sitcom of the 1990s. The holiday was a plot device in the episode, which first aired on December 18, 1997. Many people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld, now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness. Some do it religiously; others do it with good tidings in their respect to Seinfeld.

According to Seinfeld, 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.

A Festivus gallery? What a great idea. Unfortunately, it will probably get commercialized before long. Until then, it's a great opportunity for celebration. I'll probably need some help wrestling the head of the household to the floor, though. But it will certainly make a great photo!

Thanks for sharing your gallery. I'm glad I got to see it during the holidays. It really infuses the spirit with...festivuty! ;^D

As to your use of color? You're insane. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

Guest 14-Dec-2006 13:07
I am the biggest Seinfeld Fan! If it was up to me, I would invent a all time Seinfeld challenge here on pbase, in connection to all the major concepts. Kramerika, Art Vandalay, the Soup Nazi, etc/ Ciao!

I knew it was "...for the rest of us" but didn't know all
the minute details like airing of grievances, feats of strength
and wrestling the head of household to the floor.
A holiday for our times indeed!
