deadbeat holiday

When an alcoholic or drug addict decides to spend his/her entire paycheck on his/her vice of choice and then go on a bender. This person parties or isolates until all the booze or drugs are done only to wake up and realize that the rent, bills, food budget, and utilities weren't paid and then faced with an eviction notice, search warren, or an ambulance ride to the hospital . Even worse they are killed by their binging or by outside circumstances.

This term comes from Green Day's song "Deadbeat Holiday" in their "Warning" album released in 2000.

"Hey man, what happened to Billy? I haven't seen him in over a week."

"Yeah, that piece of trash is taking a deadbeat holiday... I hope he makes it out of this one alive."

Green Day:

"Wake up, the house is on fire
and the cat's caught in the dryer
philosophy's a liar
when your home is your headstone"

holiday christian

When someone only attends church services during the holidays but not during the other days that church gatherings take place. Instead they "feel" the spirit only around times where everyone will see them at church which just happens to be at the Holidays or they feel they can't sufficiently celebrate the holidays without going to church and paying their dues.
~ A negative connotation ~

I swear I haven't seen the Jones at Church all year...It's Christmas eve and now they decide to show up...I swear there such "holiday christians"

Holiday Homework

After what feels like 1200 weeks in a hellish, federal prison like school, you finally have completed your examinations and it is time for the holidays. All students enjoy it; time to play games, have fun with friends and family.

But the demonic teachers say no. They want you to so-called meaningfully spend your holidays, so they obviously give a ton of this modern torture called homework.

There can be many types, but most come in essay, or Algebra form. It is most commonly used by teachers to make students spend less time on their electronics, but most overlook the side effects.

Side effects are:
Stress
Fatigue
(Severe cases) Depression

Also, most of the time, this is done on the last day of holiday at 2.15 am in the morning, or not done at all. If a student does the latter, the teacher will likely collect it. If the students all do the work, the teacher likely would not.

Student 1: Hey, student 2? Why are you literally online at 3 am?
Student 2: Doing holiday homework.

Student 1: Ah, same.
The next day
Teacher: alright I’m not collecting the homework today

The students:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

LAN Holiday

Any holiday that is celebrated with a LAN party. It's often done on holidays when students do not have school. The acronym "LAN" is substituted for part of the holiday's name.

Examples: LANsmas (Christmas), New LAN's Eve (New Year's Eve), LANt (Lent), LANster (Easter), LANsover (Passover), LANzaa (Kwanzaa), LANbor Day (Arbor Day or Labor Day), LANoween (Halloween), All LANts Day (All Saints Day), Good LANday (Good Friday), Holy LANsday (Holy Thursday), Holy LANturday (Holy Saturday), Passion LANday (Passion Sunday), LANukkah (Hanukkah), LAN20 (420), LANxing Day (Boxing Day), LANsidents Day (Presidents Day), Fourth of JuLAN (Fourth of July), LANteran's Day (Veteran's Day), Cinco de LANyo (Cinco de Mayo), Dia de los LANtos (Dia de los Muertos), LANmorial Day (Memorial Day), Ash LANsday (Ash Wednesday), LAN Kippur (Yom Kippur), Rosh HashLANah (Rosh Hashanah), LANSgiving (Thanksgiving), LANentine's Day (Valentine's Day), LANada Day (Canada Day), LANhog Day (Groundhog Day), LANtoria Day (Victoria Day), Pi LANproximation Day (Pi Approximation Day), and more.

I always look forward to the LAN Holiday season. It's the only time of year that I get to gather with my nerd friends in my parents' cold basement for Starcraft and get pissed off to no end because no one can seem to set up the network. We never learn from the year before.

eg. the Prime Minister saw his popularity declining and risked losing a confidence vote so he declared a Harper Holiday to avoid further investigations and accountability

Hallmark Holiday

A holiday that seems to exist only for the purpose of selling greeting cards (and flowers, etc).

"What the hell, it's Administrative Professionals Day?"
Yep, just another Hallmark Holiday."
