The Question:

What is Chrismahanukwanzakah?

The Answer:

It's a word made up by Virgin Mobile for a popular ad campaign. They combined every winter holiday to create a day on which people of all religions can agree that you should buy their mobile phones. It's even more postmodern than Chrismukkah.
