That is so sad.

Trying to shove aside this day marking the birth of Jesus Christ in exchange for a fabricated, phony non-holiday is like bypassing a table laden with roast beef, turkey, ham and all the trimmings, in order to pass out plastic food and pictures of dessert.

What a pathetic commentary on the paint-thin superficial meaninglessness that our uprooted culture seems so suicidally desperate to embrace.

Well put, although I suspect Festivus revelers have another motive--just another excuse to get drunk.

Lighten up. It's a joke from a sitcom.

No, its just a funny sitcom joke that's become a theme for funny holiday parties.

To assert that Festivus has any deeper meaning denies the very spirit of Festivus.

Agree, Dan!!! It's heartbreaking to watch the crumbling all around us and then read, hear and see the attitude of those who see no harm. {{{sigh}}}

Christmas and Festivus have exactly equal status as man-made, unBiblical holidays.

It's a JOKE!

Maybe somebody will be handing out senses of humor for Christmas this year.
