In the spirit of Festivus, I thought I would recall the story of how it all began, as told by a Mr. Frank Costanza.
Many Christmases ago,
I went to buy a doll for my son.
I reached for the last one they had,
but so did another man.
As I reigned blows upon him,
I realized there had to be another way!
(Kramer: What happened to the doll?)
It was destroyed.
But out of that, a new holiday was born!
A Festivus for the rest of us!
And that, children, is how Festivus came to be. Happy Festivus, everyone!
It helps if you picture that origin story being told by Linus under a spotlight. Really touches the soul.
