The scraggly, ersatz Santa
half-assedly rings his bell then farts.
"See, sweetie, he does exist!"

Ladies and Gentlemen (and all other members to whom these monikers may not apply!): it's time once again for the Obscure Word 7-9-7**! Find a word that truly exists but that, for some reason or another, has been out of the mainstream -- and bring it back for us! ;) Or it can be a new one that has wormed its way into the younger vocabulary enough to be put into the Urban Dictionary!! ;) **HOWEVER, there is a CATCH this time: it MUST have something to do with Holiday Preparations THIS month! Yeah, NO cheating and using other non-December holidays, you naughty folks! ;) ;)
Your poem should be of the format:
First Line -- 7 syllables
Second Line -- 9 syllables
Third Line -- 7 syllables
It should highlight/explain/define an obscure word for us and really make us want to use this month as we compose an offering whether it be prose or poetry! :) Remember, keep it mostly clean (know that's difficult for some of you out there, but it IS only 23 syllables so I'm sure you can manage it!) and impress us with some Obscure Holiday Fun! :-) :-)
BE SURE to include a COMPLETE definition of your obscure word in your author notes. Make it fun, make it intriguing, but, most of all, make us want to vote for yours!! LET THE DECEMBER HOLIDAY OBSCURITY BEGIN!! :)

Ersatz:
Made or used as a substitute, typically an inferior one, for something else.
I created this ridiculous pic myself from five different Google Images.
