Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night;15 in some traditions, Christmastide includes an octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians,20 as well as culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season centered around it.
The traditional Christmas narrative, the Nativity of Jesus, delineated in the New Testament says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies. When Joseph and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was soon born, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then further disseminated the information.

Get the Christmas mug.Little country town in south central Oregon where there’s vast fields of green. A destination where the locals know each other by name and famous for cowboy dinner tree. As old as time and sightseeing from beginning of time.
Don’t come here we don’t want you here.
Quit stealing stuff to, your pissing people off.

Get the Christmas Valley mug.Rushing something (usually a video game) in order to release it in time to coincide with a special date (usually Christmas or an anniversary).
The opposite of Development Hell, which is when a game takes forever to be released.

Christmas Rushing is generally a bad thing.
ET (Atari), Sonic 2006, and Action 52 are all examples of games that were Christmas Rushed. Today, they are considered some of the worst video games of all time.
Action 52 is considered the worst example of a rushed game because there really wasn't a reason for it to be rushed. The developer just demanded that the game be made in three months (even THREE YEARS would have been tight), and...well, yes.
However, Christmas Rushing doesn't always end poorly. For example, did you know that Sonic The Hedgehog 3 was rushed? Considering how amazing the game is, you probably couldn't tell by looking.

Get the wet christmas mug.When a woman wears leggings and sweat pants for the cold months of the year, leaving her with a sweaty, smelly Christmas Coochie. (Because December is in the middle of the cold season.) This is the time of year when most women leave their sweet bush to grow free and sweat as it pleases.
