A non-religious holiday observed by
friends, not family, who are unable to be together for either Thanksgiving or
Christmas; unofficially observed the second Saturday following Thanksgiving but can be held anytime during the holiday season.
The Thanksmas celebration usually consists of a meal with said
friends followed by a period of socialization.

Mike: Sorry man, Kate and
Andy are having Thanksmas this Saturday, you're welcome to
come along!
Steve: Is it Thanksmas
already!? Sure!
