A Festivus for the rest of us! We recently had a little Festivus celebration of our own and it was a success. We slightly altered a couple of the key components so as to ensure that no one shed any Festivus tears. To have a happy Festivus follow these simple guidelines:
1. First, you need a pole. Aluminum is the preferred choice by Frank Costanza, but whatever you have will be just fine. We had a miniature version by using this nail.
2. Next, is the Airing of Grievances. This is typically where you let everyone know all the ways they've disappointed you over the past year. We chose a better and more gentler route and played Catchphrase instead. But believe me, there was plenty of 'Airing of Grievances' between Curt and Paul.
3. As Festivus rolls on, you come to the Feats of Strength. Ours were put to the test by a grueling game of Seinfeld Scene It. Alison and I came out on top (as if there were ever any doubts).
4. If you can squeeze in a Festivus Miracle it would be ideal, but not necessary.
5. We also watched the Seinfeld episode, The Strike, where we first hear of Festivus.
Well, there you have it. Happy Festivus everyone!

I would like to say that while Alison and Megan did great at Seinfeld Scene It, in no small part to Curt's propensity to roll ones, Curt and I handily beat the ladies in Catch Phrase. A tidbit that Megan failed to share. No bagels.. No bagels...No bagels......
My son tells me YOU STINK!
