Definition: To suffer stress during December, often from feeling obligated to do all the seasonal activities.
Sample usage: "I am so holifrazzled this year that I sent out the cards with flag stamps instead of the ones with trees. I'll never live that down."
Quality: It's a good description of how we can feel and offers a nice contrast to Holidazzle as a fitting seasonal term for the Twin Cities. You could also use Holirazzle, if you wanted to insult someone's decorations.
