4. Yeah, he was. He directed some low budget horror films too.
"Alright, hold it."

Bam bam bam.

2. I wondered where this came from
one misses a lot of pop culture when one doesn't watch TV.

FWIW, our office exchanged Solstice presents yesterday.

5. It is a Seinfeld reference
Jerry Seinfeld's friend George Costanza grew up celebrating Festivus, a holiday that his father created.
1. Decorate the Poll.
2. Airing of grievances.
3. Wrestling the patriarch to end the holiday.

17. I actually met the guy who wrote the "Festivus" episode.
My best friend writes for The Tonight Show and the guy who wrote the Seinfeld episode used to work there, as well. I met him at a party my friend was having.
