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.

ThanXmas 

A combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also known as The Holiday Season. ThanXmas is a span of time beginning around Halloween when retailers' Holiday campaigns' are in full swing and ending around the first week of the new year after the last Holiday sale concludes. Typically ThanXmas is disengaged from specific traditional or religious customs in that those who celebrate tend to forget the actual reason for the Holidays that are observed. ThanXmas or The Holiday Season is a result of advertising campaigns by major retailers that skew the meaning of the Holidays as to make the celebrations appropriate for people of all religions and ethnicities so they, the retailers, can sell more shit. A great example is "The Gift of Giving." Complete bullshit, doesn't even make sense.
Robert: So many people don't even realize that Halloween was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, Thanksgiving Day is a celebration of the deliverance of the English settlers by Native Americans after the brutal winter at Plymouth, Massachusetts, Hanukkah is about the eternal flame at The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and Christmas is the observed birthday of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Thomas: Dude, shut the fuck up, you're ruining my ThanXmas, I'm trying to get into the Holiday spirit.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
