The Faithful Ones are what I call monotheistic-animist (they believe in
a single deity, as well as various spirits and forces). Some have
converted to Christianity, identifying the Christian God with their
deity. They would simply refer to Christmas as either "Christ's
birthday" or "Christ's Day". (Christ = naKadi^sta or naKli^sta)
