If you’re like me and planning to spend the day after Thanksgiving eating leftovers and avoiding holiday-shopping-madness at all costs, you might want to check out TBS as they’re set to air a Seinfeld marathon all day. Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day!
While Festivus isn’t technically acknowledged until late December, TBS is honoring the “holiday” with a Seinfeld: Happy Festivus marathon. If you're unfamiliar with "Festivus," or need a refresher course, this video does a nice job of laying out the origins of George's father's holiday of choice as it was introduced to us in Seinfeld years ago. The episode in question is included in the marathon though, so you might want to wait and check it out next week.
