I feel like the modern secular version of Christmas — aka Santa and gifts — is so far-removed from its original meaning that a different word should be used for it altogether.
Fortunately for me, here in Finland we continue to call it "Joulu", as in the old pre-Christian feast called Yule.
Have a fun Yule celebration, Geminauts!

While I do celebrate the christened holiday, I also recognize the importance of acknowledging everybody else's winter celebrations and year-end festivities, as well as making sure to respect those sets of beliefs by in some way more properly sending all-purpose seasons greetings, so I come to you all with this:
Happy festivus, for the rest of us! As well, happy hanukkah, kwanza, yule, belated diwali, etc

Ditto what oldernow said! and for allowing us to meet here and use the BBS!
Kiitos, skyjake; for everything you do!
