Festivus Pole Kit includes the Festivus Pole and a collapsible base
designed specifically for use with our Festivus Pole. The base
slips together in minutes allowing you to assemble your Festivus Pole quickly -- no other base mount is required.
*Surface
Finish: In keeping with the precepts
of Festivus, the Festivus Pole is to be "unadorned
and lusterless". As such our Festivus Poles™ are provided unfinished -- as extruded -- and
you might see die lines and occasional scratches
in the surface. Unfinished aluminum will develop
a layer of oxidization that may come off as black
on your hands while handling. If you wish to
avoid this issue, you may coat your Festivus Pole with any commercially available car wax
product but you could be crossing the line by
being too concerned with outward appearances. |

Main
elements of Festivus as excerpted from Wikipedia:
The Festivus Pole |
The tradition
begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises
for its "very high strength-to-weight ratio." During
Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed,
apparently in opposition to the commercialization
of highly decorated Christmas trees, and because
the holiday's creator, Frank Costanza, "find[s] tinsel
distracting." Local customs vary and you may be able
to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain
decorations, or ordinary green garland. |
The Airing of Grievances |
At the Festivus
dinner -- a meal featuring non-holiday comfort food
-- each participant tells friends and family all
of the instances where they disappointed him or her
that year. |
The Feats of Strength |
The head of
the family tests his or her strength against one
participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not
considered over until the head of the family has
been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed
to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family
only if they have something better to do instead. |
