The time has come for Festivus! The event celebrated by Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller) on Seinfeld, where participants raise aluminum poles, compete in "feats of strength" and undertake the "airing of grievances," has transcended television.

In this side-splitting romp through the real world of Festivus, Allen Salkin meets Miss Festivus, tastes Festivus beer, and ponders the Festivus snail, showing how anyone with a little creativity-and a dash of Costanza-can celebrate a Happy Festivus!

Revised in 2008 by Allen Salkin, Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us sums up the total world knowledge of Festivus today.
