 That works, although I've always been a bit leery about "xisnunsla
(xistersla)" (despite the fact I personally use the term), simply because
that seems to imply the existence of only a single Xtian holiday (and
indeed, from a theological standpoint, that's not even the important one).
 Which is why I would think -jbe- would be better, historical inaccuracy
aside.

      YMMV,
