I’ve used Patient First as my primary care “physician” for years. They handle most things for me. Wife still has a primary care physician and waits weeks or months for an appointment.
The Festivus scene in Seinfeld was inspired by Dan O’Keefe, a writer for the show. The holiday itself, Festivus, was actually a real, somewhat quirky holiday that Dan O’Keefe’s father, Daniel O’Keefe Sr., had created in 1966 as a family tradition.
Dan O’Keefe adapted it for the Seinfeld episode “The Strike” (Season 9, Episode 10, aired in 1997), where it became famous with its rituals like the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength.

Killing a tree and bringing it inside your house, decorating it while it’s desiccating has always seemed very odd to me. I remember my uncle bringing a small fir complete with a burlap-wrapped rootball into his house. The tree-in-the-house thing still seemed weird, but he planted it after Christmas. These days, I prefer the Festivus pole. Some years, when we’ve been extra busy, we even skip the pole and just go with the feats of strength.

Worked in Franklin Park in the 80s. Lots of small businesses, light industry, blue collar neighborhoods. It’s just south of O’Hare Airport and west of Chicago.
