Not Thriving: Green Christmas

I asked about this in ATT and got permission to start a TRS thread.

Anyway, as I said on ATT, the trope Green Christmas is a decade old but only has 13 wicks (only 5 for work pages) and 69 inbounds. I'm not sure why but I'd guess because of its unclear name. The trope is according to its Laconic, "The Christmas holiday used for MONEY!", and green is the colour of money, but I didn't realise the pun until just now. Also, the description is unclear, as it never exactly defines the trope. Not helping is the fact that the aforementioned Laconic was only created last month.

I think the trope should be renamed, but I'm not sure what a good name would be. Maybe Commercialized Christmas?

When I think of "green Christmas" before knowing what the trope is about, I associate that with a Christmas without snow. For the record, this is the first time I've heard of this trope.

Thus, I do think that suggested rename does make it clearer.

I'm not quite seeing the problem with the description itself, but I suppose the description could use a rewrite.

I also think it sounds like a Christmas without snow.

Actually, Green Christmas refers to the result of raining antifreeze, if White Christmas is for snow and these people would rather be in the black, financially speaking.

Christmas Commercialization has a fun K sound at the start of each word and would be more direct than trying to think of what liquids refer to which color.

Good name, and agreed that the trope sounds like the opposite of Dreaming of a White Christmas.

I agree with both the trope name sounding like a snow-free Christmas and Christmas Commercialization being a better name.

Any other name thoughts?

All I can think of is Commercialized Christmas, which is just a variant of the previous suggestion.

Commercialized Christmas/Christmas Commercialization sounds good. It's short and gets to the point, and it's alliterative.

I agree. And perhaps after that move Green Christmas can be remade as a disambig page noting this trope and Dreaming of a White Christmas.

Made a crowner for whether this should be renamed.

The crowner's hooked, thanks.

The hooked crowner isn't working. It's blank and says it's an Image Pickin crowner and not the rename crowner I posted.

How does Capitalist Christmas sound for a new name?

Consensus is in favor of renaming so far, so there will probably be a crowner to add it to.

Well yeah, but I'm just trying to get opinions ahead of time. If everyone says "no, that's stupid because this this and that," I don't want to put it on the crowner.

Well, I personally like the suggestion.

Is 13 yeas 2 nays a wide enough majority to call?

Done.

10 yeas and no nays for Commercialized Christmas. Is it safe to call?
