We are in that post Christmas-Hanukkah period. Perhaps, nursing hangovers from too much spiked eggnog, looking at that ugly sweater your in-laws regifted you, or pretending to work today. Whatever you have been doing, we know that there has been a lingering question in the back of your mind since December 23rd. “Who got the Festivus Pole?”
The next holder of this sacred piece of galvanized pipe is: Elizabeth Losos
It is the sacred tradition that the current holder of the Festivus pole chooses the next recipient (there has been rare occasions where the pole, itself has chosen). In this case, Planning Commissioner Jon Mitchell has selected current Chair of the chapel Hill Planning Commission, Elizabeth Losos to be the recipient. In a secret, guerrilla mission, right out of an episode of “La Femme Nikita” the pole was clandestinely delivered to the recipient on the afternoon of December 23rd. By bike.
We now have a quote from the recipient:
Funny welcome home greeted me when I returned – not to mention the notice in the Triangle Blog Blog. 😊
I am now fully ready to air all my grievances from 2025……
Until next year – may your grievances be aired and your feats of strength performed.
