Once upon a time, Beverly wrote a landmark about some very personal things that have happened in her life.
In order to protect the anonymity of all involved, she changed the names of all involved using a search-and-replace routine.
She didn't notice that this also changed "Christmas" to "Billtmas".
A lot of people just assumed that Billtmas was some crazy Momon holiday.
The next month, we had a Utah get-together. We said that we were celebrating Billtmas as well as Speak Like a Pirate Day.
Pretty much Billtmas is celebrated whenever we have a Rack get-together in the fall. But, of course, we keep it in our hearts year-round.

LOL--I recently sent a client a chapter in which I'd done a global change from DC (as in Washington) to D.C. She was puzzled by the word granD.C.hildren which kept appearing in the text!
(But Billtmas is MUCH funnier)
