Happy Festivus!
Friday is Christmas.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
But today is the most important holiday of all!
Happy Festivus! It’s 2020 so you better believe I’ve got a lot of grievances to air! But they’ll wait until after the aluminum pole goes up and after we’ve had our Festivus dinner. Some people say that the Feats of Strength are more important than the Airing of Grievances but I say the grievances should always be at the center of any Festivus celebration.
If you need a refresher course on the origins of Festivus, listen to Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller, RIP):
Enjoy your Festivus dinner. Let the people in your life know how the have let you done. And who knows? Maybe you’ll even experience a Festivus miracle because this is Festivus for the rest of us!
Happy Festivus!

Music Video of the Day: Here’s To The Night by Ringo Starr (2020, directed by ????)
Though it may not be a Christmas song, the latest single from Ringo Starr feels appropriate for the season. Ringo sings for peace and hope in this song and he’s brought along an impressive supporting cast to help him make his case. Among those featured in the song and the video: Paul McCartney & Joe Walsh, Corinne Bailey Rae, Eric Burton, Sheryl Crow, FINNEAS, Dave Grohl, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Jenny Lewis, Steve Lukather, Chris Stapleton, and Yola.
I searched but I could not find a credited director for this video.
Enjoy!
