It's a great tribute to our society that we can indulge such dimwitted stupidity simply because we saw it on a TV show.

I like the "airing of the grievances" in particular. I might do that today at work.

Dancing around an aluminum pole. Sounds like a holiday for strippers.

That is so sad.

Trying to shove aside this day marking the birth of Jesus Christ in exchange for a fabricated, phony non-holiday is like bypassing a table laden with roast beef, turkey, ham and all the trimmings, in order to pass out plastic food and pictures of dessert.

What a pathetic commentary on the paint-thin superficial meaninglessness that our uprooted culture seems so suicidally desperate to embrace.

Allan Salkin and the New York Times are pathetic.

just for the sake of multi culturalism...mind you.

This is absolutely hilarious, though I somehow feel as if I'm missing out. So far, I've been invited to three Christmas parties, a Winter Solstice party, a "Yule Party," and a "Seasonal Gathering," - but not a single Festivus party. Apparently, I am a social leper.

Well put, although I suspect Festivus revelers have another motive--just another excuse to get drunk.

To postulate grandly, the rise of Festivus... may mean that Americans are fed up with the commercialism of the December holidays and are yearning for something simpler.

No, its just a funny sitcom joke that's become a theme for funny holiday parties.

To assert that Festivus has any deeper meaning denies the very spirit of Festivus.

Lighten up. It's a joke from a sitcom.
