Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike.
"Real Mazumas" is an anagram of "Emma Lazarus".

Transcript

Keep, ancient lands, your storied fleets!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tie-rods, your power trains,
Your hot-rod engines burning to steam free,
The screaming crashes of your NASCAR poor.
Send these, the chromeless, racetrack-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the garage door!
