Seinfeld

This is the one that gave the world Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us. Frank Costanza invented it as an escape from the Christmas shopping scrum, and George is soon using it to wriggle out of buying anyone gifts. There is an aluminium pole instead of a tree, the airing of grievances, and feats of strength. Meanwhile Kramer finally ends a twelve-year strike at the bagel shop, Elaine is desperate for her free sandwich, and Jerry has a girlfriend who looks different depending on the lighting. Pure, daft Seinfeld, and the reason a fair few people now have a very odd pole in the cupboard come December.
