Re: [lojban] "Merry Christmas" in Lojban?

[Michael Turniansky <mturniansky@gmail.com>]

 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,

(I prefer tersla to nunsla, if it doesn't mess up anything else in
the word)

How about {ko xistersla gleki} ?
