A word used to describe the
Thanksgiving/
Christmas holiday season.
It is very clever because the shortening of Thanks is "Thanx", like how the youngsters do the textings and whatnot, while, at the same
time, the "x"is the first letter of "X-mas".
It's February and my manager is already hounding me to submit my
time-off requests for the Thanx-mas season, which is over 9 months away. I could literally conceive and become the father of an un-planned
child during that
time-frame, and he wants to know what my holiday plans are.
