This Year, Make Your Own Festivus Pole
Briefly

The Festivus pole, introduced in 1997 on Seinfeld, symbolizes anti-commercialism and celebrates family through unique traditions like airing grievances and feats of strength.
Daniel and Deborah O'Keefe created Festivus in 1966 as a secular holiday to commemorate their first date, which later evolved into a humorous tradition on Seinfeld.
Festivus is a holiday defined by rejection of commercialism and traditional iconography, featuring unique family rituals such as silly songs and creating Play-Doh sculptures.
Unlike the iconic aluminum pole from Seinfeld, the original symbol of Festivus for the O'Keefe family was a clock inside a bag or alongside a bag.
