Again, Happy Festivus!
This scene is from The Strike episode of Seinfeld. Believe it or not, it is based on a true story. Scriptwriter Dan O’Keefe, who wrote this episode, grew up celebrating Festivus, a holiday that was created by his father. In the real Festivus, the aluminum pole was replaced by a clock that O’Keefe’s father would put in a bag and nail to a wall. To quote O’Keefe:
“The real symbol of the holiday was a clock that my dad put in a bag and nailed to the wall every year…I don’t know why, I don’t know what it means, he would never tell me. He would always say, ‘That’s not for you to know.'”
Enjoy!
Through the Shattered Lens 
Finally! … after almost twenty years of searching for the real, deeper meaning of Festivus, your article has made everything perfectly clear! Knowing that the original Festivus involved a clock in a bag nailed to a wall makes perfect sense, much more so than the very confusing aluminum pole.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
