MOOSEMAS is floating winter holiday meant as a non-religious substitute for Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal holidays popularized by Orthodox
Consumerism.
Moosemas was begun in the 1980s by
Discordians, and can be celebrated as either a pagan or secular holiday, depending on the audience. Like most Discordian traditions, it's a bit hard to tell how seriously people take this holiday.
On MOOSEMAS, everybody gets together to eat
chocolate mousse, drink moosemosas, stand under the moosletoe, yell MOOSLETOV!, and otherwise moose out.
Costumes and gift giving are optional.
