In the Etimology question again I would like to know how these hollidays
are called in different languages, but more important: what the names
means.
I know Spanish "Navidad" is a short form of "natividad": birth. In the
word "Chrsitmas" I've hear the etimology means Christ birth, but I can't
be sure. I've never known where Swedish "Jul" comes from...
How these hollidays are derived in our conlangs (those who apply).
Thanks, and
!Felices fiestas!
