A period of roughly six weeks, lasting from the end of November to some time in January. It includes a number of religious holidays, traditional celebrations, and family visits. It is generally accepted to be both the best part of the year (for people under the age of fifteen) and the worst part of the year (for people over the age of fifteen).
Includes: Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Advent, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the Winter Solstice, St. Nick's Day, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Winter Break (for students), and a number of others.
Sometimes used (as "Happy Holidays") as a politically correct (race, creed, and nationality-neutral) phrase on cards and decorations.
Also known as "International Muzak Month" due to the unwavering propensity of shopping establishments to assault their customers' ears with instrumental version of "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "White Christmas" for the entire six-week period.

If I hear "The Little Drummer Boy" one more time, I swear I'm going to snap. I didn't mind this as a kid, but ever since I turned fifteen, boy! I hate the holidays.

A sad excuse to force all of your family members all under one roof. None of these poor miserable bastard like seeing each other but they do it to, "Make mom happy." The grim reality of the holidays is that about two to three times a year, family members go through this sad pathetic song and dance only to go home and talk shit about each other behind their backs. Don't ever think your family is not like that, because they are. If no one ever talks shit about a fellow family member to you, it's because they're all talking shit about you.
Ted: So Bill, what are you doing for the holidays?
Bill: Telling my Dad to go fuck himself
Ted:....well Happy Holidays to you too....
Bill: you can go fuck yourself too
Bill: Telling my Dad to go fuck himself
Ted:....well Happy Holidays to you too....
Bill: you can go fuck yourself too

(Name) As a child, Holiday's are beautiful young girls with the heart and spirit of a lion. As they grow up, they become strong, independent women who tend to have guys fall in love with her. But she doesn't allow anyone in except the right person.
Dude 1: See Holiday? She's beautiful!
Dude 2: She won't let anyone in unless they make a good impression. She's perfect like that.
