Ho. Ho. Huh? with Guest Matt Jones

Ho Ho Ho! On this episode, we’re talking again to our fellow nerd and Industrial Designer, Matt Jones. Matt takes on a unique role this time of year. He knows someone who's pretty special around the holidays, and he's coming on the show to share it as well as celebrate Christmas with us. 

Or if you're a Seinfeld fan, a Festivus for the rest of us.

Let's talk about how Seinfeld popularized this oddball holiday, and look at the merch that goes with it. Festivus is well branded -- there’s a website, books, videos, social media, and more.

What does Festivus mean?

Festivus is the name of a secular and non-commercial holiday characterized by the raising of an aluminum pole, the serving of dinner, the airing of grievances, and the demonstration of feats of strength.

Let’s discuss the rules and see if we can practice them:

●  Get a Festivus pole. Search your home for an aluminum pole.

●  Prepare a Festivus dinner. Meatloaf is key to staying true to the “Seinfeld” episode.

●  Air your grievances.

●  Join in the Feats of Strength.

●  Call all slightly non-routine events 'Festivus miracles.'
