Festivus is an annual holiday invented by Reader's Digest writer and editor Dan O'Keefe. It was introduced to popular culture by O'Keefe's son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld, on December 18, 1997, in the episode "The Strike". from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus) :hihi: /jarmo Title: Re: Anybody here celebrate Festivus?
