Items related to Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us
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!

About the Author:
Allen Salkin's writing has appeared everywhere from the New York Times to Yoga Journal, and his article "Fooey to the World," which was the basis for this book, was one of the most-read articles of the year. He lives in New York City and teaches Journalism and Writing at NYU.
From AudioFile:
Bah! Humbug! If you think Festivus, the curmudgeon's December celebration, was made up on "Seinfeld," Allen Salkin, humorist and journalist, wants to disabuse you. Or he pretends to, for all he really wants is for you to enjoy this brief, lighthearted treatise on the history, rituals, and impact of Festivus, which he wrote and--with the help of Jerry Stiller, Alan Sklar, and others--narrates. Alas, he doesn't possess a skill with aural humor that measures up to his knack for the written variety. The production seems forced and staid. Nonetheless, during the holiday season it will provide diversion as you drive to the holiday party you've been dreading.
