One might propose yulegaiety or yuleglee, although whether that implies anniënnui I am uncertain.

I am going to propose «Anteneoannusnoelojollification»
Built from
- ante — Before
- neo — new
- annus — year
- noel — Christmas
- o — bridging vowel for word fluidity
- jollification — the act of jollifying, making happy.
Making something merry at Christmas before the New Year.
No citations until it makes it into the OED.

Merry is reserved (by whom?) for Christmas; Happy is for the New Year.
This has been documented.
meta: I feel it has also been mentioned here on ELU around Christmas last year. This?
Non-word: noëlfun.

I suggest unchristmassing because Christmas is an exclamation expressing:
surprise, dismay, or despair.
So if you are unchristmassing you are being the opposite of those things, which sounds good.
Since it contains the word christmas, it should only be used at that time of year.

For the common vernacular, I shall suggest «Christmerrymas». A portmonteau of Merry and Christmas with no mention of the New Years at all.
I’m curious as to why you’re so admant about people not being merry for the New Years though.

Christmas is a time for families, friends, and celebrations. It’s also a time to say “Merry Christmas!” and up some cards with your favorite Christmas words. There are tons of Christmas cards, but only a handful are worth buying. Those you believe should speak the truth of how much you care about the person on the front page — the one you will keep in your wallet or even frame.
Some Facts about Christmas Words
Christmas is when words are spoken and written, and we always do this with a certain level of reverence. You want to ensure that we have the right words to say at the right time. Christmas is a time of magic, and the words we use can be magic too.
- First off, Christmas is a time of year when your words matter because it’s a holiday that involves giving and receiving. This means you want to use the best terms when speaking or to write about the holiday.
- Secondly, there are several different types of words that you can use when talking about Christmas. You can talk about the name of Jesus Christ, which is why there are so many different ways to say “Christmas” in English (like “Christmas Day”).
- Thirdly, if you want to make sure that your word choice is appropriate for your audience, you need to consider their age group and gender too! The rules for writing or speaking about these topics are slightly different for each case.
Here are facts about some of my favorite Christmas words.
The word Christmas
The word “Christmas” comes from an old Germanic pagan festival called Christmastide, which was celebrated to honor the birth of Christ. The Germanic people who lived in what is now Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark worshipped a god called Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas), who brought gifts to children at this time of year. This was later adapted into Christmas celebrations for Christians.
Christmas
Christmas comes from the Latin word “Christes maesse,” meaning the “mass” or solemnity of Christ’s birth. The Latin phrase maesse means both mass and sacrifice and refers to the Roman Catholic Church’s celebration of Jesus’ birth as part of their Lenten period when they fasted and gave alms to charity (see Lent & Easter).
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Feliz Navidad.
The first one is probably the one you are most familiar with. It’s a greeting that means “Merry Christmas.” It’s also used to wish someone a happy holiday season or to say goodnight on the phone before hanging up.
The second one is more commonly used in Spain and Latin America. It means “Happy Holidays,” similar to English but not quite the same.
The third one is something that Spanish speakers use to wish someone a happy New Year. It’s also used as a greeting among friends who aren’t close enough for them to exchange gifts or cards yet still want to wish each other well for the new year.

Christmas Words with Meanings
Christmas is a time for family and friends to come together, eat delicious food and give each other presents. But that’s not the only thing to celebrate! There are many Christmas words that you can use throughout the season. Here are some ideas for words to use in your Christmas cards and letters:
- Merry Christmas: This is used at the beginning of the greeting, but it can also be used at the end if you feel like being extra festive. It means “merry Christmas.”
- Christmas Eve: This refers to Christmas Eve (the day before Christmas) or on Christmas Eve itself. It means “Christmas Day.”
- Christmas Day: This is used at the beginning of the greeting, but it can also be used at the end if you feel like being extra festive. It means “Christmas Day.”
- Christmas package: This implied a present wrapped in paper or plastic and delivered on Christmas day or early in the morning after midnight on December 24th.
- Christmas tree: A tree decorated with lights, tinsel, and presents placed in your home during this time of year after December 25th has passed.
- Christmas: The holiday season in which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Wrapping Up
Many words have become associated with Christmas, but as this post shows, many other words were used before English became the global language. Unsurprisingly, these words remained in the vocabulary of nations where English has never been the primary language. Some words are too attached to Love and Peace for them ever to be replaced, making them forever part of the collective vocabulary.

My word is «Believe». That is the theme of my Christmas Journal and I think it applies in many ways. Believing in the Christmas Spirit, believing in mankind, believing in Christ, and even believing in Santa Claus. ages ago |

papersandtschai says:
«hope» yesterday, my husband and i were eating dinner at a small cafe near our office. He saw kids who begged him for money. He asked the boy where his parents were and why he isnt home. The little boy as a matter of factly replied that he ran away coz his dad punched him whenever his dad gets drunk. We bought the boy and his friend dinner. We thought about harsh realities and that even in our darkest moments there should be hope. Even if its so hard to see ages ago |

tulibri says: My word would be «beginning». Because christmas is the time when the old year is coming to an end. Shortly before, efforts are accumulated to get everything done for christmas and the old year, and on christmas you can calm down, enjoy a good time and look forward to the new year which is always a new beginning. An important factor to me is also that christmas falls together with winter solstice which for me is the sign that it goes upwards again — the days will become longer again from that time on, with their promise of light, warmth and summer coming back I wish you all a very good time over the following days, wether you celebrate christmas or not! And have a good start into the new year. Astrid ages ago |

Here is a true and honest confession: Christmas and all its beautiful hoopla can sometimes drive me about half-crazy. This is not the fault of Christmas, of course. It’s purely my own neurotic self.
Shortly after Thanksgiving I start believing that since it’s the most wonderful time of the year then I must build gingerbread skyscrapers and create intricate snowflake designs in the carpet with the vacuum and give puppies wearing red bows to strangers standing in line with me at Starbucks.
I need an intervention. A focus. A way to remember this season is really all about Jesus and not about sewing an elf costume by hand with one eye closed while sipping homemade eggnog and singing Christmas carols with the neighbors.
(In case you’re thinking I ever actually do any of these things, I don’t. I just imagine doing them. And this is enough to bring on the crazy.)
So this Christmas I’ve decided to pick one word that will be my mantra and the rope that pulls me back from the brink of merry madness. My word this year is going to be…simplicity.
Simplicity means it’s okay to get the premade cookie dough at the store.
It means I have permission to nap instead of do vacuum art.
It means I treat my holiday sanity like a package under the tree marked “fragile.”
It means I love imperfectly in the ways I can and let go of the rest.
It means, most of all, that I remember Christmas isn’t about me. It’s simply about a baby named Jesus.
Would you like to join me in choosing one word for your Christmas? If so, I’d love for you to leave a comment sharing it. (Subscribers, to leave a comment please click here to visit the blog post.)
Whew, I feel better already.

Christmas Pictionary Words
Christmas is the perfect time to get together with friends and family. And, what better way to have fun with your favorite people than by playing a game!
If you are looking for a festive game that is great for groups, then you’ll want to consider pictionary!
The great thing about pictionary is that you can keep it simple–all you need is a timer, pen/pencil, paper and word cards to play.
How to Play Pictionary
The goal of Pictionary is to guess what word the designated drawer of the team is drawing.
It is hilarious and fun and perfect for all ages.
To play pictionary, first, divide your group into teams.
One team goes first and designates a drawer. The drawer picks up a card, reads the word to themselves, and begins to draw the word.
The timer starts ticking down as the drawer’s teammates try to guess the word.
If the team guesses the word, they get a point!
Then, another team gets a turn to play. At the end of the game (you can choose to end the game after each team gets a certain number of turns), whoever has the most points wins!
You can change the rules to suit your group of people, but this is a general overview of how to play.
Words for Christmas Pictionary
To make this game Christmas-themed, use some of the following words.
Write each word on a notecard, and turn them face down. When it’s your turn to draw, choose the top card, read it to yourself, and begin play!
- presents
- carolers
- christmas tree
- santa claus
- reindeer
- elves
- hot cocoa
- santa’s sleigh
- candy cane
- pumpkin pie
- snowman
- snowflake
- North Pole
- christmas lights
- wrapping paper
- mistletoe
- nutcracker
- little drummer boy
- angel
