  1. is big this year.  I have a Festivus Pole (next to the Charlie Brown Christmas tree) here at my house as well as in my classroom.  The Festivus Pole in my room has become something of a draw, with students I don’t even know wanting an up-close-and-personal look at it.  A kid gave me a Festivus Book for reference, too, so I get all the dogma just right.

      Promotional merchandise for a band, record label, or other entity in the music business, usually distributed at concerts.

      May include t-shirts, stickers, promo CDs, posters, etc. Often free, but not necessarily; a t-shirt or record purchased at a concert might still be considered swag, especially if it is a design or release that is not readily available in the mass market.

      Many independent record labels throw in a handful of free swag when they ship out mail-order packages (stickers, sampler CDs, etc).

      The chief difference between swag and regular merchandise is that its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the band/label, and reward its supporters by giving them something cool and unique.
