12月是節(jié)日的月份，圣誕過(guò)后就是新年，大家都在忙著為朋友和家人準(zhǔn)備禮物。這一準(zhǔn)備不要緊，禮物越買(mǎi)越多，帳單越積越厚，到該還款的時(shí)候在意識(shí)到透支了不少。

Christmas buzz is a feeling common during the month of December. It is the need to buy many overpriced gifts for your family, normally on a credit card. The buyer feels no feelings of regret for the rest of the month, as he/she feels they are being a good person. The Christmas buzz is always followed by the New Year's hangover, when the credit card bill comes in and the buyer goes on a rant about how much money they have spent.

Christmas buzz（圣誕沖動(dòng)）是12月份很常見(jiàn)的一種情緒。它會(huì)讓你給家人買(mǎi)很多超貴的禮物，而且通常都是用信用卡結(jié)算的。買(mǎi)的時(shí)候一點(diǎn)也不會(huì)為這個(gè)月剩下的日子擔(dān)心，因?yàn)槟阗I(mǎi)這些禮物的時(shí)候覺(jué)得自己是個(gè)好人。緊跟著圣誕沖動(dòng)而來(lái)的就是新年怨悔，那時(shí)候信用卡的帳單也該寄來(lái)了，你才會(huì)為之前花出去的錢(qián)自怨自艾。

For example:

You're buying a Nintendo Wii off eBay for 500 dollars for your kid? Must be the Christmas buzz.

你要在易趣網(wǎng)上花500美元給你孩子買(mǎi)個(gè)任天堂游戲機(jī)？一定是圣誕沖動(dòng)了吧。
