Squigmas
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Squigmas is a festive Ork holiday,[1] where the Xenos open wrapped gifts.[2]
Description
These gifts are hung in stockings by fireplaces[1] or placed under metal trees, sometime before the holiday begins.[3] Da Red Gobbo, though, spreads festive cheer on Squigmas day by distributing explosives and stealing these presents for himself,[1] while the Black Gobbo attempts to do the same.[2] Meanwhile, an Ork named Father Squigmas celebrates the holiday by either giving gifts or punishments to anyone he encounters.[4]
Trivia
Squigmas is the Orks' in-universe equivalent of Christmas, with Da Red Gobbo[1] and Father Squigmas[4] playing their version of Santa Claus.[1][4]
