The moment when adults reminisce about how great Christmas was as a child but then immediately snap out of it and then understand that life is a cruel game intended to beat you to your knees and rob you of your soul. This disenchanting realization then propels the frustrated grown-up into a desperate struggle to have fun participating in the "same old, same old" go-to's such as attending lame holiday parties, wearing ugly sweaters, overeating, and drinking their faces off.

It's Christmas, and you know what that means. It's Shortcake Time. Yum yum yum, it's Shortcake Time.

pretty much the same as a strawberry shortcake, except you're wearing a clown suit while you do it.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
