The fun bit, drilling random holes in the aluminium pole. That was the hardest part, trying to make it look random.

Put the pole in the pole holder bit, connect the usb cable to a battery pack or mains adapter, and pronto! A modern take of the Festivus Pole. The ultimate reduction of a Christmas tree.

Now air your grievances, pin your host and get this thing over with. We got soup to buy, muffin tops to eat and coffee to drink.

Happy Festivus!
