Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us, is part of
Seinfeld lore. Created by Frank Costanza, George’s dad, Festivus is a non-denominational, non-commercial, non-sentimental alternative to Christmas, Hanukah and Kwanzaa.
Festivus is celebrated annually on December 23rd. The Festivus tradition includes: a Festivus dinner; the airing of grievances; feats of strength; and setting up a low- maintenance, unadorned aluminum pole (Frank C. is distracted by tinsel).
In this mashup, Frank (
Jerry Stiller) addresses Congress. He proposes the establishment of Festivus as a national holiday. The Congressmen were an easy sell, since they are well practiced in the airing of grievances and the expression of disappointment.
