Happy Festivus!

If I am to take the date mentioned in the "Festivus" episode of Seinfeld, today is Festivus. Of course, this is a fake holiday, but it's nice to remind ourselves of why, in the show, it was created: because Christmas was too commercial for Mr. Costanza. Sure, maybe airing grievances you have with your family, or trying to pin your son, might be a bit of an extreme way to deal with the overcommercialization of Christmas, but the idea is kind of cool, if a little odd. Of course, all we really need do if we want to take a break from shopping is remember that the reason we celebrate Christmas is because Jesus was born for us on that day. Well, maybe not exactly December 25th, but still.
Anyway, I did want to mention for anyone out there that might actually want to do so, I believe I have it set up now that anyone should be able to leave a comment for a post I have made. This may or may not be a good thing, but it does mean I know if people are actually reading this thing. Now it's time for some cereal and cheese and a little Saved by the Bell. And they're in college right now to boot.
