MOOSEMAS is floating winter holiday meant as a non-religious substitute for
Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal holidays popularized by Orthodox Consumerism.
Moosemas was begun in the 1980s by Discordians, and can be celebrated as either a pagan or secular holiday, depending on the audience. Like most Discordian traditions, it's a
bit hard to tell how seriously
people take this holiday.
On MOOSEMAS, everybody gets together to
eat chocolate mousse, drink moosemosas, stand under the moosletoe, yell MOOSLETOV!, and otherwise moose out.
Costumes and gift giving are optional.
