The negative Christmas shopping experience which led to the creation of Festivus is recalled below in a conversation between Mr. Costanza and a Cosmo Kramer of Manhattan, New York:
Frank: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had -- but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way!
Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank: It was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born. "A Festivus for the rest of us!"
Kramer: That musta been some kind of doll.
Frank: She was. |
