The selection of “Festivus” apps available to mobile users is still relatively thin. So thin, in fact, neither of the the two apps featured in this post are available to iOS users. Being the only apps available to the Festivus niche, their developers get full marks for putting the effort forward. That being said, we…
The Festivus 5K (F5K) for Autism is a yearly Festivus-themed holiday race through historic Salem, Massachusetts. By “Festivus” themed, it is meant there are Seinfeld themed costumes, an aluminum pole and even a grievance contest. Sounds like fun? It is! More importantly though, to date the race has raised over $30,000 to help children with autism…
We have already seen Festivus manifest itself in every corner of the world, and in every walk of life, but we’ve never experienced a Festivus burlesque show… until now. What a minute.

Congratulations to those down under, who get to air their grievances before anyone else. (Maybe that’s my new grievance?) In this blog post we will…
The folklore of Festivus is derived from two places: the traditional Festivus celebrated by the O’Keefe family and the Seinfeld Festivus celebrated by the Costanza family, as depicted in the Seinfeld Festivus episode “The Strike”. In the case of Festivus Dinner, the Costanza folklore seems to have taken precedence. Since “The Strike” was aired in…
This makes a large pot of Mulligatawny and will serve 6-8 large Kramer-sized bowls. Good enough for a Festivus Party, or at any time of the year that you need something hot and tasty. The best part of this soup is that you can get Kramer to watch your armoire if you promise him a…
