Trivia
The holiday of "Festivus" was created in 1966 by Daniel O'Keefe, the father of Dan O'Keefe, one of the show's writers. He invented many of the traditions later included in the "Seinfeld" episode, including the airing of grievances.

Goofs
Frank tells Kramer he hasn't celebrated Festivus in years, yet earlier George received a Festivus greeting card from Frank.

Quotes
Frank Costanza: At the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year.

9/10

Festivus for the rest of us.

With: Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris.

This episode is a really well remembered episode for the Frank Costanza sub-plot, and for good reason. The plots of this episode are really funny. Jerry is dating a woman who looks good one moment and hideous the next, Kramer is back working at a pretzel shop after a 12 year strike, Elaine's using fake phone numbers causes her to have problems getting a free sandwich, George's Christmas presents at work are donations to a fake foundation and Frank Costanza gets ready to celebrate his own holiday, Festivus. Every plot, except the Elaine one, are really clever and funny. This episode is mainly remembered and quoted for the Festivus plot, and it's good Jerry Stiller got a remembered phrase for his work on Seinfeld. It's a very funny episode.

My rating: Great episode. TV PGD
