Anybody up for bridge at our house this Saturday night?  We'll play if we can get at least two others.  We could start around 7:30 or whatever time suits other people.

Please hit Reply All so that I get the responses at my home email.  Hope to see you.

Eliza and Mike

Great.  Is 7:30 good for you?  Thanks for the offer of food. We can talk about that a little more when we know if others can make it.

I'd be up for some Bridge this Saturday, with the old gang. Count me in!

[Edward Deignan]

I can make it, too!  7:30 is fine.  What can I bring?

Drat!

I have to go to a Festivus Party. Don't you all celebrate Festivus?

Ah well, thanks for the invite. Next time, for sure.

I thought Festivus was in December...

Are we on? Should we do pot luck or order pizza and
bring drinks and desserts?

Yes, we're on for Saturday night at 7:30 for bridge at our house.  We have six definite and one tentative, so we hope to have two tables.  I'm going to make some pasta and salad, so if anyone wants to bring some drinks or fruit/dessert or snacks that they like that would be nice but not necessary.

See you then.

The celebration of Festivus varies between December 23 and February.

Anywhere and anytime you find an aluminum pole and an open heart there is a Festivus for the restivus.

Me, I just go where my wife takes me.

Festivus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Festivus

Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller) holds the old family "Festivus Pole" while talking to Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld). Frank's son George (Jason Alexander) has just fled Monk's Café after Frank plays a tape of George's "Feats of Strength" torment from a childhood Festivus.

Type
Seasonal
Significance
A non-denominational holiday to be celebrated by those frustrated or jaded with the commercialism and pressure surrounding the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa season
Date
December 23
Celebrations
Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, the Festivus Pole
Related to
Christmas
Festivus is an annual holiday invented by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld.[1][2] Although the original Festivus took place in February 1966 as a celebration of O'Keefe's first date with his wife, Deborah,[2] most people now celebrate the holiday on December 23, as depicted on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike".[1][3] According to O'Keefe, the name Festivus "just popped into his head."[2] The holiday includes novel practices such as the "Airing of Grievances", in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. Also, after the Festivus meal, the "Feats of Strength" are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, the holiday only ending if the head of the household is actually pinned. These conventions originated with the TV episode. The original holiday featured far more peculiar practices, as detailed in the younger Daniel O'Keefe's book The Real Festivus, which provides a first-person account of an early version of the Festivus holiday as celebrated by the O'Keefe family, and how O'Keefe amended or replaced details of his father's invention to create the Seinfeld episode.[4]

Some people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld,[2] now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness; some carefully following rules from the TV show or books, others humorously inventing their own versions.

Hi,

 

I might be a tentative. I had kept the night open for a friend's birthday but it is not clear whether it will happen or not, so I may also come...

 

I hope the late RSVP is ok!

 

Raphaele.

I thought Festivus sounded familiar but didn't immediately make the Seinfeld connection.  Thanks for filling us in.
