Stiller's Frank Costanza explained and celebrated Festivus every Dec. 23, which he created as a reaction to the commercialization of Christmas, in 'The Strike,' which aired Dec. 18, 1997, in the ninth and final season of 'Seinfeld.'

:"I think the biggest surprise to all of us was the staying power of Festivus. I think that completely surprised us. When I bump into any of the other writers, we're all shocked by that."

"Instead of a tree, didn't your father put up an aluminum pole?" Jerry asks to George's eternal chagrin. "Weren't their feats of strength that always ended up with you crying?""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," Frank says, with a Stiller hand wave that by itself is hilarious.

Frank's Festivus dinner brings together his wife, Estelle , George and his friends and a motley crew of hangers-on, including Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Tracey Letts as a skeezy OTB employee.
