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 kind of doll.”
Frank Costanza: “She was.”

Cosmo Kramer: “And is there a tree?”
Frank Costanza: “No, instead, there’s a pole. It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting.”
Frank Costanza: “It’s made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.”

And don’t forget the airing of grievances.

Being in jail, the inmate naturally began with the AIRING OF THE GRIEVANCES!

On this day,Festivus Haggen lands on your roof upon his flying mule Ruth and then slides down the chimney with presents for the kiddies.

He,like Nicholas,is a saint as well—he was a follower of Matthew.
