Neverready<\/strong>: \/nev\u00c9\u2122red\u00c4\u201c<\/em>\/ Christmas morning at Tim’s parents house was always a struggle. Tim’s dad was confounded by anything electronic. If a flashlight wouldn’t work, he was never sure if it was one of the batteries or maybe the bulb, perhaps the switch. So, he kept them all. He had several drawers full of neverready batteries. This matched nicely with the closet full of defunct light bulbs. If you want something with batteries to work, you’d better bring some. Etymology:<\/em> never (at no time in the past or future) + Everready (brand of batteries) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Listlessmess<\/strong>: \/list less mess<\/em>\/ Adults have more Christmas lists than kids. Kids have one Christmas list-en-up of what they want. Adults have a gift list of what to buy to glisten their kids eyes. A liquor list to glisten other adults eyes. A too-cook list that glistens everyone’s eyes. Adults work feverishly to complete their lists. They list up, list in, list do, and eventually expend so much energy as they list down, by Christmas morning they are a listlessmess.
\n Etymology:<\/em> LISTLESSNESS – lacking energy. MESS – in a muddle due to a lack of energy. Created by:<\/em> silveryaspen.<\/p>\n

Ohmnavidud<\/strong>: \/OM-navi-DUD<\/em>\/ Despite months of work decorating his house with lights and other yuletide paraphernailia, Bob’s Christmas, quickly, upon the flick of a switch, turned into a personal and festive ohmnavidud.
\nMerry Xmas to all. Etymology:<\/em> Georg OHM, in 1827, gave his complete theory of electricity. His work greatly influenced the theory and applications of current electricity. OM or AUM: In Hinduism (and some other religions) the source of manifest existence. OM pervades life and runs through our breath: it is our spiritual and emotional energy. NAVIDAD: “Christmas” in Spanish, as in “Feliz Navidad.” DUD: an event or thing that fails badly or is totally ineffectual; “the
\n first experiment was a real turkey – a christmas one, no doubt.” Created by:<\/em> OZZIEBOB.<\/p>\n

Festigue<\/strong>: \/fest-teeg<\/em>\/ Festigue usually sets in about noon on Christmas Eve because of all the shopping and partying the last two weeks. We are all just too tired to enjoy the holiday. We’re totally festigued.<\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> FESTIGUE – noun – from FESTIVE (something joyous, or merry) + FATIGUE (physical, or mental weariness)<\/p>\n
