The True and Traumatic Origins of Festivus, the ‘Seinfeld’-Popularized Christmas Alternative
Dec. 23 has been deemed Festivus after it was written into 'Seinfeld' nearly 30 years ago. That episode's writer tells The Hollywood Reporter about his father and how his invented holiday originated.
It feels like a scene straight out of Seinfeld, the way Dan O’Keefe explains his Festivus “outing.” The moment in 1997 when the esoteric holiday left the closed confines of the television writer’s memories of an atypical adolescence and slipped into the world via Hollywood producers took place as he was cornered in a booth with his colleagues prodding him to spill the beans. Over the next several decades, Festivus would morph and expand into today’s top alternative to Christmas. But in that moment, as Seinfeld’s four principal protagonists were often positioned, O’Keefe was seated with these successful writers and producers at a popular L.A. diner — though here, Swingers on Beverly Boulevard stood in for Tom’s Diner, the Upper West Side eatery the great sitcom put on the map.
Jerry Seinfeld Talks About The Legacy Of Festivus And It's Hilarious Origin
Tuesday is Dec. 23, which means not only is it two days before Christmas, it's Festivus, the day that all Seinfeld fans have circled on their calendars.
The holiday "for the rest of us" originally came from the 1997 Seinfeld episode called "The Strike," and on the show, it was started by Frank Costanza (the late, great Jerry Stiller) as an alternative to the increasingly commercialized Christmas holiday.
It's an absolute classic episode that sees Kramer's 12-year strike from his job at a bagel joint come to an end, and George avoids buying gifts for his co-workers by making donations to the completely made-up "Human Fund."
