What if the Festivus Pole is an aluminum baseball bat? Asking for a friend.
Don't watch a lot of TV and zero sitcoms so the OP's post left me wondering.
I do keep up with politics and am aware of Dr Rand Paul's Festivus where he outlines the fleecing of America with an online report.

Here is where your tax dollars go folks, and brain dead biden wants more.
Thousands of new IRS agents to be hired to snoop into your private bank accounts.

I only celebrate Saturnalia.
I'm looking forward to Sol Invictus.
HAPPY FESTIVUS! To cold to get the aluminum pole from the barn, but I have a 10 inch length of conduit here in the house, so this year we will have a "mini" Festivus Pole.
Meat loaf is ready for the oven, to be served on a bed of lettuce. List of grievances prepared and feats of strength today will be timed holding a M1 at arms length.
