I'm really meaning to thrash the sham of Festivus. Have I been personal in my remarks? Unlike the unresponsive responses I've gotten, I don't think I have.

I don't know you; you may be a great guy. You may be a great gal!

But Festivus is a stupid idea, and that it has any traction is, as I have explained, a sad commentary on our culture.

Festivus is a stupid idea

Which is exactly why the Seinfeld/Festivus episode was so funny.

Humor is a wonderful thing.

You should try it sometime.

You are taking it all way too seriously. Festivus doesn't have any "traction". Festivus is absurd and stupid which tends to make it funny in the same way that the comic "The far side" was funny.

It's just a silly joke like toga parties. People who think it is funny tend to be slightly immature and easily amused but it isn't an attack on X-mas or traditional values.

Lighten up. People have done sillier things in the past and will no doubt do sillier things in the future.
