Decorat<\/strong>: \/DEK o rat<\/em>\/ Val Egurl was that special form of mallrat, the “Decorat.” She obsessively purchased every holiday-themed item that she deemed to be “cute.” She could no longer park in her garage because it was stuffed full of boxes, carefully labeled and color-coded for each major and minor holiday. She festooned both her house and herself with decorations for the relevant occasion. She even had lights up on her house year-round. But not just any lights – these were multicolored and synchronized to music, AND both the colors and the music corresponded to the holiday. On the Fourth of July, the lights were red, white, and blue, and the Star-Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs played. On Halloween, the lights were orange and black, and spooky music emanated. Not to mention Christmas – well, you get the idea. Etymology:<\/em> decorate + rat Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n

Decksess<\/strong>: \/deck-sess<\/em>\/ Norma was anything but normal over the holidays. To say that she got into the holiday spirit was an understatement to say the least. In fact, she would decorate to decksess. Her house was so brightly lit with twinkie lights that it could be seen from the space shuttle, and her yard was bedecked and littered with moving reindeer, angels, blowup santas, Peanuts characters and huge, giant snow-globes containing Eeyore and Winny-the-Pooh. In her house she had a large Menorah next to her silver Christmas Tree and her Kwanzaa candles. She would come to work wearing reindeer antlers and a large string of twinkie lights around her neck. We found it amusing, then, when we asked her about her religious observance. “I don’t believe in the religious stuff,” she said, “I just like to decorate.” Etymology:<\/em> deck: to decorate (as in “Deck the Halls”) + excess: exceeding what is normal or sufficient Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Xmascot<\/strong>: \/eksm\u00c9\u2122sk\u00c3\u00a4t<\/em>\/ There might just be elf in Kris*s family tree. She has taken on the role of Xmascot, decorating everything in sight including herself. Starting the day after Thanksgiving, she has an outfit for every day, most involving tinsel and lights. She is devoted to the holiday. Just managing the extension cords is close to a full-time job. Etymology:<\/em> Xmas (informal term for Christmas) + mascot (a person or thing that is supposed to bring good luck or that is used to symbolize a particular event or organization) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Festcessive<\/strong>: \/fest-ces-sive<\/em>\/ Sylvia took the Christmas carol ‘Deck the Halls’ and its meaning to the extreme, decorating anything and everything. She is completely and totally festcessive about the Christmas season.<\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> festive + obcessive + excessive<\/p>\n
