A period of roughly six weeks, lasting from the end of November to some time in January. It includes a number of religious holidays, traditional celebrations, and family visits. It is generally accepted to be both the best part of the year (for people under the age of fifteen) and the worst part of the year (for people over the age of fifteen).
Includes: Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Advent, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the Winter Solstice, St. Nick's Day, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Winter Break (for students), and a number of others.
Sometimes used (as "Happy Holidays") as a politically correct (race, creed, and nationality-neutral) phrase on cards and decorations.
Also known as "International Muzak Month" due to the unwavering propensity of shopping establishments to assault their customers' ears with instrumental version of "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "White Christmas" for the entire six-week period.

If I hear "The Little Drummer Boy" one more time, I swear I'm going to snap. I didn't mind this as a kid, but ever since I turned fifteen, boy! I hate the holidays.

Get the The Holidaysmug. The internationally-recognised time to start any homework that has been assigned for one's weekend. This includes (but is not limited to) math problems, lines, essays, papers, presentations, studying for exams, and take-home tests.
Larger projects are usually assigned over a weekend because of the "extra time" it gives students. This is amusing because students do not utilise this extra time, instead choosing to begin work on at the very end of the weekend.
In some cases, Sunday afternoon is better stated as Sunday evening.
See also the eleventh hour.

Wal*Mart is a universally loathed chainstore, commonly described as catering to white trash and being solely responsible for the collapse of western civilization. The implication is that only the lowest of the low shop or work there; thus, Wal*Mart rejects (those who cannot get a job there or shoppers who have been banned from the premises) must truly be among the worst examples of humanity.
The phrase is used both by people who shun Wal*Mart and those who shop there, as everyone can relate to it.
