Pronunciation: oh holee nite

Sentence: Oweholynight! The stores are brightly shining, It is the night of getting your money's worth, Long lay those cards in purse and pocket pining, Tills reappear and the soul spent its worth. A thrill of hope the retail world rejoices, For yonder breaks your budget by Mastercard. Fall on your knees! Owe, hear the Visa voices! Owenight divine, Owenight when AmEx was reborn; Owenight divine, Owenight, Owenight Divine.

Etymology: Owe (be in debt, owe money for goods bought) & O Holy Night (Christmas Eve, the night of Jesus' birth, the reason we celebrate Christmas; the title of a Carol announcing the birth of the Savior)
