The tradition of Festivus begins with an aluminum pole. During Festivus, the unadorned Festivus Pole is displayed. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees because it is “very low-maintenance”, and also because the holiday’s patron, Frank Costanza, finds tinsel “distracting”.

The Festivus holiday includes novel practices such as the “Airing of Grievances”, in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year then after the Festivus meal, the “Feats of Strength” are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor with the holiday only ending if the head of the household is actually pinned to the floor.

I kind of feel like I am celebrating Festivus here, staring at a bare pole (coat rack) which actually should be a decoration filled tree. Anyhow, I have a collection of Christmas Images for you all to enjoy, and I found a special one for everyones favorite baldie.

Now it’s not that I have daily entries on my blog, but as the drinking parties and the end of year work schedule get more hectic paulhartrick.com will be operating with a skeleton staff for a week. Everyone be safe, and hope to see/blog about you all next year. Take care and Happy Holidays.
