Sally and Ken Coe put up their Festivus pole. Ken Coe sees it as "no frills, just an opportunity to bring together friends and family." Using a metal pole with no decorations was popularized on the long-running sitcom "Seinfeld."
The ironic thing is that they do not celebrate "Festivus" in Poland (Poleland).
This is Kwaanza for white folks.
"Coal Now Too Expensive To Put In Christmas Stockings
December 21, 2005 | Issue 41.51
CHICAGO- With winter's onset driving the demand for surface coal to
record-high levels, the mineral's cost is now beyond the reach of low- and
middle-income Americans who wish to punish their naughty children.
"Coal in one's stocking is meant to serve as an admonishment or warning, not
as a dependable grade-B investment," said William Menchell, a commodities
adviser for T. Rowe Price. "In today's market, children should only have
their stockings stuffed with lumps of coal if they have been studious and
obedient, and show an interest in long-term investments in the energy
sector."
For more affordable punitive options, analysts point to the relatively
stagnant switch market, which could soon go the way of coal if demand
increases for combustible wooden sticks."
Sounds like your average trip to the t*tty bar...

Now if some ethnic or racial group would claim Festivus as its own, the USPS would issue a Festivus stamp; the president would have a Festivus pole; the ACLU would favor Festivus displays; stores would wish people "happy Festivus".
Oh the stupidity!
Festivus Bump!
As if we haven't already invented enough fake Holidays around Christmas.
People are truly sheep waiting to be led to something
