     Correct me if I'm wrong,  but wasn't  George's dad's creation of 
Festivus,  for the rest of us?  (that don't have a traditional holiday 
celebration).  If I'm not mistaken,  George was required to compete with his

dad in performing "Feats of Strength" during this heart warming family 
gathering.   And wasn't there something about a pole instead of a Christmas 
tree?
