Last day at work for 2005

Well today is our last day at work for 2005. What a year!
We have a few plans for the holidays, but no work, thats the important thing.

Fesitvus Poles

Festivus poles for sale

In a classic episode of Seinfeld,
the character played by the inimitable Jerry Stiller declared the
establishment of a new holiday to replace Christmas. It was called
Festivus and the centerpiece was a bare aluminum pole. Now a company is
selling the poles.

According to Frank Costanza, the Festivus celebration includes three major components:

The Festivus Pole

The tradition begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises
for its "very high strength-to-weight ratio." During Festivus, an
unadorned aluminum pole is displayed, apparently in opposition to the
commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, and because the
holiday's creator, Frank Costanza, "find[s] tinsel distracting." Local
customs vary and you may be able to decorate your pole with
non-threatening plain decorations, or ordinary green garland.

The Airing of Grievances

At the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family
all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.

The Feats of Strength

The head of the family tests his or her strength against one
participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over
until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A
participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the
family only if they have something better to do instead.
