Alchohollyjolly
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: al-co-hol-ly-jol-ly
Sentence: Kris was having an Alcohollyjolly Christmas and arrived at the office party lit like a Christmas Tree. Usually quiet and reserved, he was nervous about talking to people he didn't know, so he allowed himself some liquid courage beforehand. Showing up late and dressed in a Santa Suit, he hit the egg-nog right away. His coworkers laughed and dismissed the behaviour, but they drew the line when he began to offer the women there a chance to check out his "package" and go to his "sleigh" to see Rudolph. The next day he realized that it's probably not a good idea to get too jolly at a law firm's Holiday party when he exchanged his Santa Suit for a Sexual Harassment Suit.
Etymology: "A Holly Jolly Christmas,"(1962) -- a popular Christmas song sung by Burl Ives and composed by Johnny Marks, a Jewish composer who also penned "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." + alcohol: intoxicant
