It started out as a skit on "Seinfeld", based on a writer's real life experience, on an episode called "The Strike" Frank Costanza (Jerry Stiller) had a tug a war with another shopper over a doll. He turned "Scrooge" and started a tradition using an aluminum pole (which is the "tree"), the "airing of grievances" where people write their anger on others and placed it on a cloth to be hung on the "tree". Foods (such as buffalo wings, chips) are shared along with cheesy music being played.
It's the "ironic, sarcastic" celebration of the holiday season...
Anyone celebrating?
