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…

As most of you know, the Festivus tradition is centered on the display of an unadorned aluminum pole. We’re not sure how the Seinfeld writers Dan O’Keefe, Jeff Schafer and Alec Berg came up with this idea, but we are sure they were high on caffeine (or something else) when they did. (Note: Dan O’Keefe has…
The Holiday season is now in full swing and and it’s starting to get crazy. If the past years have shown us anything, there is more division than even before, and Festivus seems to be placed into the middle of the skirmish. If you thought that “Festivus” was part of the “War on Christmas“, call off…
It’s Friday and there’s only 11 days to Festivus! We’d like to take a little time and do a roundup of what is going on in realm of Festivus. First order of business! We’ve got more poles to show you! Second order of business is dessert! PS. It’s down at the bottom of the page if…
If you didn’t already know there exists a modest selection of Festivus songs. Of course, the traditional Seinfeld Festivus did not include any songs. Still, you can’t stop some folks from wanting to sing. Most Festivus songs stay true to the humor of the holiday. Four years ago, FestivusWeb.com posted Festivus-based lyrics to a few of the holiday…
There is exactly two weeks until Festivus! While checking on Facebook and Twitter there are plenty of people getting into the Festivus spirit. Many poles are being erected, and the strength-to-weight ratio of each pole seems to be satisfactory. Have a look below and see what we’ve discovered!
When it comes to the Festivus Feats of Strength, maybe you don’t want your gathering to resemble the coliseum in the days of the Romans. Think about it. Grown adults grappling right next to your antique armoire. There has to be a better way. A board game is a great low-impact replacement for Feats of…
Soup has been featured prominently throughout the Seinfeld series. From Kenny Bania’s choice of soup when Jerry took him out for a “meal” to Elaine’s description of Lobster Bisque being the “best part” when she Yada Yada’d sex. To be honest, Bania only had a consomme which really isn’t a meal, unless you crumble some…
