Is there anything Google hasn't indexed? I was trying to find the correct spelling of this completely made up word and sure enough, Google says "Did you mean: Chrismahanukwanzakah? So sure enough, I clicked on that link to find the Wikipedia article on this little known but soon to be holiday sensation.
I'd be surprised if their wasn't a Festivus site somewhere. There's probably people who throw actual Festivus parties.
So, would the new politically correct term be Chrismahanukwanzafestivus?
Apparently.

-----------------------------------
Merry Christmas, Ernie.
I'm f*%&$!&g off to Toronto in a few hours to spend time with family. If you've ever watched Denis Leary in "The Ref", you've have 10% of what I'm likely to be going through this holiday season. I might end up telling my ahhnt to shut her cakehole this year. Its been eight years so I think I'm due.
Please pray that I will be put out of my misery quickly.
To the rest of youse guys:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Canada great (not to imply that Canada is necessarily greater that any other country), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
You wouldn't be surprised if people threw Festivus Parties?
Liz and I have hosted a Festivus Party for the past 3 years!
You have no idea the grievances I have to air.
Festivus for the rest of us!!
