AFAIK there is only one way to say it since the Ancien Roman Religion died was replaced by Christmas. Dec 25 was selected as the date for Christmas not because it was the actual Bday of Jesus. ("shepherds abiding in their fields keeping watch over their flocks by night" indicates a spring date for the nativity.) but when Christians needed to have a date for a party and also needed to keep UTR.... they picked a date when the Romans were partying too and so would not notice their celebration.
the best place to hide a small crowd is in a big crowd.
so Merry Christmas or belated Happy Hanukkah to those of you who celebrate it and Io Saturnalia to my homeboys and gals!
(what do you expect from someone with Claudius as a handle?)
