Today, December 23, a very important day for Seinfeld fans: today is the festival bus!

(Or as they translated it into Hebrew, "the Haggis").



The festival was born into the family of screenwriter Dan O'Keefe, in response to Christmas.

From there it rolls into the mythological episode, which turned it into a family ritual into a national holiday - to this day many celebrate it, mark it on social media and sell or buy related products, a relatively ironic phenomenon to the fact that the original holiday was created as a protest against Christmas trade.

Please note: the episode itself is not called "The Festival" but "The Strike", a decision that the creators of "Seinfeld" regretted in retrospect.

This is one of the most perfect and interesting episodes of the series, and also provides a particularly large amount of trivia details.



The Binger, the podcast from the podium, dedicates a particularly festive episode to all of these, starring Oren Josipovic, Ahrela Weisberg and Avner Shavit, who in the spirit of Frank Kostanza enjoy telling each other how much they are so disappointed in each other.

Pleasant listening, and a happy festival for all of us!
