Looking to add a little bitterness to your holiday season? Then FESTIVUS is the book you cannot do without! Take Frosty out behind the woodshed and hide your menorahs, kinaras, diyas and whatevahs...the time has come for Festivus! The event celebrated by Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller) on Seinfeld, in which a bare aluminum pole replaces all holiday and religious symbols, where participants compete in "feats of strength" and undertake the "airing of grievances," has transcended television to become a worldwide phenomenon. In this side-splitting romp through the Festivus landscape, Allen Salkin meets Miss Festivus, tastes Festivus beer, and ponders the Festivus snail (along with Festy the cat), showing how anyone with a little creativity-and a dash of Costanza-can celebrate a Happy Festivus!

very funny book. offers all sorts of accounts of various ways people celebrate Festivus in addition to the history behind the original tradition that led to the infamous Seinfeld story line.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Festivus, and some stuff you would rather not know (nail impaled shrimp anyone?). Entertaining text and photographs, weird kind of scary drawings. Brings up some interesting ideas about religious celebration in general. Heck who knows, in 200 years Festivus might be as big as Halloween. Makes excellent bathroom reading.
Festivus isn't just a holiday book, it is a cult classic. Forget about buying holly and a wreath this year, just get this book and your whole idea about the holidays will transform into something hilarious. Seriously, this book will make you cry with laughter and could end all of your "holiday blues".
I was very happy with my purchase from Amazon - was not expecting it to be received before Christmas, but it came in very good time and in excellent as new condition
I bought this as a 'Crimbo' gift for my wife exactly a year ago, yet she still has not read it. That is possibly the most selfish act I have ever witnessed. What a bitch.
