Obfestoon<\/strong>: \/ob fes toon<\/em>\/ When December rolls around, Merry drags out tons of decorations and covers every inch of her office, her home, her car and herself. Her tendency to obfestoon, includes wearing her seasonal “yulery” and making sure that the bathrooms are fully stocked with Christmas toilet paper and tissues.She also honors her Jewish co-workers with Hannukah trim, her African friends with Kwanzaa displays and just wait until her new boss, Mr. Singh, reports for duty…she will have Diwali covered, too! Etymology:<\/em> Obsess (be preoccupied with;pursue vigorously) & Festoon (to decorate lavishly) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Tinselvate<\/strong>: \/tin-suh\u00e2\u20ac\u2030l-veyt<\/em>\/ Even before retailers start hawking the Christmas season Merry and her friend Holly begin decking their halls, pets, cars, cubicles and even their outfits. They have been known to wear glass ornaments as earrings and garland like a boa. Like a bedazzler gone mad, Merry will tinselvate a sweater so much that she has to be careful walking in front of a car at night for fear of blinding the driver. Etymology:<\/em> tinsel (decorations made of thin strips of shiny metal) + titivate (to make smart or spruce up) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Obsessorate<\/strong>: \/ob-SESS-ohr-ayt<\/em>\/ Once again, Glendora showed her extreme holiday spirit and went on a crusade to obssesorate everything including phones, the john, and every window in her home, the same in her office and even hung ornaments in the interior of her car. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of ‘obssess’ (to engage in obsessive thinking : become obsessed with an idea) and ‘decorate’ (to furnish with something ornamental ) Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n

Holidazzler<\/strong>: \/HOLL-uh-dazz-lerr<\/em>\/ Jeff didn’t realize he had married a holidazzler until it was too late, and now every festive occasion was marked by decorations covering every square inch of their split-level rancher—inside and out! Etymology:<\/em> A combination of “holiday”, any generally accepted occasion for celebration, and “dazzle”, meaning in this case to overpower with a bright and spectacular display.
