Festivus at MCM
You will remember from Seinfeld, and the video above, that December 23rd is Festivus.
Mike Munchak: Why will you not go with Jake Locker when it is so very clear that Matt Hasselbeck is not healthy?
Chris Johnson: You spent all of that time talking about how you deserved playmaker money. You got your playmaker money but haven't made very many plays this season.
The interior of the offensive line: Why can't you block anyone ever?
Jason Jones: See above.
Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us, turns 14; still love it?
Today is Festivus, the holiday that was popularized on "Seinfeld" and spurred the comic tell-all tome "The Real Festivus."
"Seinfeld's" Jason Alexander looked at the Festivus phenomenon in his introduction to 2005's "The Real Festivus," by "Seinfeld" writer Daniel O'Keefe:
"For one miserable episode, the Costanza family invited the world to join them for an inane, bizarre anti-holiday called Festivus. Most people might celebrate Festivus in addition to celebrating a normal holiday. Festivus just adds more fun to the holiday season."
FestivusWeb.com refers to the "Seinfeldian origins of the Festivus celebration" and recalls the episode in which Frank Costanza told how it all began:
Frank: It was destroyed. From the O'Keefe family to the Nelson family.
