Frank Costanza Quotes
"Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way [...] out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!"YouTube Video: A Festivus For The Rest Of Us (Time: 1:17)"And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year! I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company stinks!"YouTube Video: A Festivus For The Rest Of Us (Time: 1:17)

Festivus Activities and Crafts
