Festifanatic
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /fes-ti-fuh-nat-ik/

Liz would always end up spending her holidays alone, despite all her enthusiasm.
Etymology: festive - "of, relating to, or appropriate for a feast or festival." (Latin, féstīvus - "merry") + fanatic (Latin, fānāticus - "pertaining to a temple, inspired by orgiastic rites, frantic")

Etymology: Obsess (be preoccupied with;pursue vigorously) & Festoon (to decorate lavishly)
