With only 15 days to Festivus, aluminum poles are going up wherever we look!<\/p>\n
We all know that the Festivus tradition is centered around the display of an unadorned aluminum pole, something thought up by the character Frank Costanza in the ninth season Seinfeld<\/em> episode “The Strike<\/a>.” The Festivus pole<\/a> was the ultimate symbol of an anti-Christmas holiday, it is plain looking, unencumbered by branches and decorations, and it is relatively inexpensive. Over twenty years later, Frank’s symbol is still alive and well, and showing up in living rooms, front yards and businesses around the world.<\/p>\n Even with a pandemic, erecting a Festivus pole seems like a safe activity. Here are some fantastic examples of the spirit of Festivus we found while surfing the web.<\/p>\n There is no better way to tell your neighbors how you feel than putting a Festivus pole in your front yard. And for those that are unaware of the meaning of an unadorned aluminum pole, you can also place information placards near the pole. A Festivus miracle!<\/p>Front yard Festivus<\/h2>\n
