A little quiz for all the Festivus fans out there: Can you name the four main components of a Festivus celebration?
I'll post the answer below (no peaking).
To: Leaning Right
The four main components of a Festivus celebration: the Festivus Pole, the Airing of Grievances, the Festivus Dinner, the Feats of Strength.
To: Leaning Right
The aluminum pole is important because of its high strength to weight ratio. That’s very symbolic to us Festuvians.

Yes. This is made very clear early in the festivities.
George: Happy Festivus.
Frank: George. This is a surprise. Who’s the suit?
George: Dad, this is my boss Mr. Kruger.
Frank: Have you seen the pole Kruger?
George: No, he doesn’t need to see the pole.
Frank: He’s gonna see it.
Frank: It’s made from aluminum. Very high strength to weight ratio.
Kruger: I find your belief system fascinating.

Was not Steinfeld some sort of TV NYC Jewish comedy?
What would they have to say about Christmas? Why would anyone care?

Why would anyone care about any comedy? To escape from the troubles of the world for awhile, and have a few laughs.

I find tinsel distracting.

Personally I believe God chose the Jews for comedic purposes among others.

Seinfeld writer Dan O'Keefe's father, Daniel L. O'Keefe, an editor at Reader's Digest, was the originator of Festivus. How it became part of Seinfeld is an interesting
read.

Because it had excellent writers and was funny as all get out. Unless, of course, if you don't like to laugh. Then stick to Jerry Lewis....

You sound like a anti-dentite!

Tried to like Seinfeld but it was too New York and the characters too nerdy, too neurotic, and utterly PW’d.
As for an atheistic holiday, they already had Winter Solstice & other Stonehenge stuff.
`It’s Garry Schandling’s Show’ was much better urban comedy, IMO. He raised neuroticism to an art form.
