AIR YOUR GRIEVANCES

A mostly indie rock affair with some clever remixes and valiant covers. The title and artwork refer to that legendary holiday for the cynic and hipster doofus in all of us.

FRANK: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reach for the last one they had - but so did another man. AS I RAINED BLOWS UPON, I REALIZED THERE HAD TO BE ANOTHER WAY.

KRAMER: What happened to the doll?

FRANK: It was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born - A Festivus...for the rest of us!

Have a safe and happy Festivus on December 23. Air your grievances with loved ones, keep the tinsel away from the aluminum pole, endure feats of strength, donate to the Human Fund, and remember: Festivus - Yes! Bagels - No!
