I’m about to say something awful. Don’t leave, though. It gets better. And yes, we’ll get to the Festivus shirt part of the discussion soon enough.
I don’t like Seinfeld.
Ok, there. I said it. It’s not the writing, though. The writing isn’t lacking at all, and the whole Festivus thing is hilarious. I do get sick of all the “Happy Holidays” and “Merry Christmas” arguments. I get tired of worrying I’m going to offend someone by being too sensitive or not sensitive enough. After all, isn’t the whole point of the season to celebrate love and peace and all that crap?
So yes, I think Festivus is just swell. Fun fact, though – there’s actually a “real Festivus” and a “Seinfeld Festivus”. One of the Seinfeld screenwriters was the son of the guy who created Festivus, and you can buy his family’s book about the real deal.
If you’re anything like me, though, you’d rather wear it than read about it. I found this Festivus Shirt browsing around this week and I thought it was a good summary of the holiday, in shirt form.
Festivus Shirt – Order a size larger than normal, as shirts here run a little small.
