Pronunciation: hälidāz

Sentence: From Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve Julie is in a holidaze, buying more than she can comfortably afford for family and friends. She wanders the mall chanting the mantra of the **don*t want to offend** crowd, **Happy Holidays**, daring not utter the word Christmas. By Christmas Day she is as surprised as the recipients with what she has bought. The trance is finally broken in January when the OMG bills arrive.

Etymology: holiday (a day of festivity or recreation when no work is done) + daze (make someone unable to think or react properly; stupefy; bewilder)
