Holiday 2011

Some weird "timeframe" that the media now uses to indicate when a game will be released. Confusing as shit because Britons don't understand that "Holiday" is an American euphemism for "Christmas"... instead they interpret "Holiday" to mean summertime.

So basically, this term causes meaningless and pointless confusion just because the media and corporations don't want to use the word "Christmas".
Douche CEO of Activision: Some shitty game will be out for Holiday 2011

Consumer dude: WTF does that mean... why are you just making up some weird new time period as if everyone should understand what the fuck it's referring to? Does "holiday" mean summer? Christmas? Fucking February?
