And I can't find my aluminum pole!
 
Time to get liquored up and air the grievances.
 
The History of Festivus

Frank Costanza: "Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way."
Cosmo Kramer: "What happened to the doll?"
Frank Costanza: "It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!"
Kramer: "That must have been some doll."
Frank Costanza: "She was."

I just printed up a few of these pics for those people I don't like.
 
I almost bought these Festivus greeting cards this year.
