Wednesday Evening Random Live Thread: Happy Festivus
The Festivus celebration includes four major components:
The Festivus Pole: The tradition begins with an aluminum pole, which has a "very high strength-to-weight ratio." During Festivus, the unadorned Festivus Pole is displayed. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, because it is "very low-maintenance," and also because the holiday's patron, Frank Costanza, "find[s] tinsel distracting.".
Festivus dinner: In "The Strike," a celebratory dinner is held on the evening of Festivus prior to the Feats of Strength.
