With every other holiday having its own particular, and oft copy written slang (stupid corporate Earth Day), I figured that inventing some new terms for the Winter Holiday Season (WHS) was appropriate, necessary, and life-saving. So, without any fanfare, here are some terms to work into this WHS.
Griswold (v) - To overly adorn a house with exterior decorations. Usage: "Boy, with that triple-nativity scene, the Smith's really griswolded up their yard."
Hanukkah Keg (n) - After a night of "revelry," a previously kicked keg somehow dispenses a hair-of-the-dog beer, thus, a holiday miracle.
Fruitcake (n) - The person, much like the holiday "gift", that while unwelcome at any party, is received graciously. Not to be confused with the other usage as referring to one who is only mildly insane. "Every time I showed up at a party, I got treated like the fruitcake, and ended up stealing ornaments."
Red Rider (n) - The unobtainable gift that you ask for every year. Much like the unicorn of the WHS, this gift may one day show up. And because your mom might be reading this, "You'll shoot your eye out!"
Nogged (v) - WHS equivalent of being drunk, especially on egg-nogg. "Man, I was so nogged last night, I ended up mounting the animatronic-lighted reindeer in the front lawn. I was stuck till morning."
DB (n) - derived from DeBeers, the diamond company. It's the act resulting from the gift of a diamond to a loved one (well, one that you might have a sexual relationship with). "Dude, when your mom sees the earrings I got her, it'll be DB city" (Probably not a nice thing to say to your son, but hey, it's the holidays.)
I was trying to think up some Kwanza slang, but it'd be something like "Boy, this reminds me of Kwanza." (instead of Delaware? I don't know. I don't do research while I'm on vacation. No offense to Delaware. After all, aren't you guys wicked in to jousting or something?)
They're not twinkling, Clark.

That was unspeakably dirty-sounding.
They're called lances.

munsoned - to get screwed over royally and end up a loser:
"These kids nearly got munsoned, but they're back now. Through the Unified Fund, I found out that if you give a little, you can get back a whole lot more."

+2 for DBing.
TV commercial for K's Jewelers comes on
Son "I wonder what is in that box"
Husband (disgusted tone) "Diamonds)
Me "That would shut me up."
Apologies to anyone not familiar with Ron White.

+2 for this:
"Man, I was so nogged last night, I ended up mounting the animatronic-lighted reindeer in the front lawn. I was stuck till morning."
and another +2 on its way for the Strong Bad shout-out from Sassmaster...you truly are the master of sass.

This is only a +1 because you didn't actually 'verb' some of the nouns.
