Every year around this time, people’s full attention turn toward the coming holiday season. For many others the coming of Festivus adds even more spice to their December.

Festivus is in nine days, on December 23rd. So there is no wonder people are getting into the Festivus spirit.

We Love You Jerry Stiller!

Even in the “Vinyl Idolz” form of Frank Costanza the image of Jerry Stiller harkens back to the role he brought to life: George Costanza’s father Frank. Thank you to Instagram user earlesswonder85 for the memory!

Now That’s a Pole

Nothing oozes strength-to-weight ratio like the awesome looking pole by Mike Norton. He was originally looking for something more average, but settled on a 6 foot aluminum fence post. It’s quite breathtaking.

Had to take matters into my own hands.

6 ft aluminum fence post + tree stand = Festivus pole

Excited to have the Festivus pole up at the office to celebrate the season. https://t.co/xS5nXQyuBC pic.twitter.com/mFTBbU1AWb

Gripes a Plenty

Did you know the Tampa Bay Times has been publishing Festivus grievances for the past six years? It’s true! Such a service to the community… and this year they are doing it again!

The grievances are gathered through their website, and include complaints from people all around the world. Venting troubles can soothe troubled souls, and by doing this the Times is hoping that the social benefit will make the world better in new year… or at least that’s what we were told in a 2019 podcast. Well, maybe that’s a big ask, but we did have a genuine laugh about it.

What kind of things can you complain about? For example, some of the complaints published last year:

I had to use scratchy brown paper towels because 2020 brought out the toilet paper hoarders.

Having to deal with my husband, who thinks “quarantine” means to sit on his butt and do absolutely nothing except aggravate me. I guess he’s been quarantined for 10 years now!

Co-workers, what’s the deal with leaving unused time on the microwave? Are you somehow gifting me those 13 seconds left on there? What am I going to do with 13 seconds?

You get the gist of it.

If you have a gripe, and you probably do, head on over to the Tampa Bay Times website and let the complaints fly!

Or, if you want to gripe anonymously, we have a place right here for you to do that. Another Festivus Miracle!

 

Seinfeld Lego? A Festivus Miracle!

Just in time for this year’s Festivus, Lego has put out the “LEGO Ideas Seinfeld 21328 Building Kit” and it’s not a toy meant for children. It’s aimed directly at the adult Seinfeld-loving crowd.

The set lets you build Jerry’s apartment, complete with his kitchen with a counter, fridge (with Superman sticker), microwave oven, and a bottle of Hennigan’s in the cupboard. The living room features a sofa, armchair and tables, plus there is an office area off to the side and a bicycle on the wall, two things Jerry never used… but you get to build them nonetheless.

The set also comes with five mini-figures: Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes and Newman, with accessory elements including a microphone, pretzel, goldfish in a bag, a marble rye bread and fishing pole to dangle it out of a window.

Finally, the coup de grâce is a Festivus Pole for George to cry over.

Festivus Prose? Another Festivus Miracle!

Facebook user Adiv Abramson shared a bit of Festivus prose on our Facebook Page “I Celebrate Festivus“:

And that, my friends is a Festivus Miracle!

Happy Festivus!
