Stressmas 

A winter season holiday that begins around the end of November, and culminates on December 25. The total level of stress accumulates exponentially the closer one gets to the 25th, and continues to linger above a background level at least until the end of January. As the financial, bad weather, health, and family stress cycles peak around the 25th of December, people celebrate by drinking copious amounts of alcohol and engaging in gluttonous behavior. Stressmas is also noted for its especially annoying music that plays on every radio stationan shopping center PA system, further exacerbating the stressful situation by creating a trigger that turns one violent and belligerent. Marked by long shopping lines and traffic for no reason, one cannot avoid celebrating Stressmas. Those with exes, inlaws, and children tend to celebrate Stressmas more faithfully than single people.
Merry Stressmas!

Stressmas 

Specifically for high school and college students, the week(s) leading up to exams and breaks around the Christmas holiday. Depending on your level of education and the rigor of your teachers/courses, Stressmas can last for just a single week before the holiday break, all the way up to the whole month between the return from Thanksgiving break to the last day of school before winter break.

Stressgiving is a sister term to Stressmas, referring specifically to the time before Thanksgiving break.

The purpose of Stressmas is for teachers to test their students on all the information they possibly can before their pupils go on break and forget it all. This often causes students extreme stress and panic, to the point where they nervously anticipate this time of the semester throughout their whole year.
Student A : Damn my teacher is giving us so much work this week! I can barely keep up. My brain is about to explode.
Student B : Mine too. Well it is the Stressmas season, what do you expect?
Student A : Fuck

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.
