Let the airing of the grievances commence!

I read an article last year about a company that is making bank off of selling festivus poles. I think it was a fence company that essentially retooled for the month of December.

Don't forget to fill out the proper form, lest someone have a grievance with your airing.

Don't forget the "Feats of Strength"

Whay not anchor it to the floor and ceiling and really have a holiday?...or is that Holiday?

 

[ScottM]

I am very concerned that I am seeing plastic and aluminum poles being used for Festivus these day instead of the traditional iron ones.

I say put the Fe back into FeStivus!! Use an iron pole!

 

[Ted]

I thought that Festivus poles were supposed to be aluminum?

Festivus != Alstivus



The whole Aluminization of the holiday came when popular culture tried to make a buck off of the tradition and sacred celebration.

According to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus

The holiday's celebration, as shown on Seinfeld, includes an aluminum "Festivus pole", practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and the "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles".

If the creator of the holiday says it's aluminum, then I'll go with aluminum.

Unless it's more expensive, in which case I'll cheap out and buy an iron pole.

Maybe I should plant Festivus poles in my back yard like I've done with Christmas trees...

So I guess that spare copper pipe I have won't work. Neither will the PVC.

Guess I have to settle for the 5 foot antenna mast.

There's already been a story in the news about that happening this year.
