Pronunciation: festəbəz

Sentence: Lew was nervous about going to his first office ”Holiday” party. He had only had this job for two weeks and hardly knew anybody. All that changed when he arrived sporting an elf costume and a raging festibuzz. The outfit might have been forgiven, the pickling perhaps but kissing Mr. Bossypants full on the lips, maybe not. Strangely when he arrived for work on Monday Lew’s security badge didn’t seem to work on the entry door and a box with his personal stuff was sitting on the curb.

Etymology: festival (an annual celebration) + buzz (intoxication)

Pronunciation: sher ree kris mast

Sentence: Nick had already been to five other homes on the block for his annual walkabout on Christmas Eve. Sampling nibblies and good cheer, by house #6, The Bailey's, he was plastered. Since he only did this at Yuletime, he arrived sherrychristmased. Luckily, the Bailey's knew him well enough to lay him out on the spare bed until either Christmas, sobriety or alcoholic poisoning happened. It would not be the first time that the Bailey children would think that Nick, in his Santa suit, was the real thing...in fact he was often the topic of the next show and tell...

Etymology: Sherry (fortified wine, drunk as an aperitif) & Wordplay on "Merry Christmas"

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
