As this list includes members and concultures that do not observe
Christmas, no, there hasn't been a such an exercise. Conlangers may
share the closest equivalent to holiday greetings in their conlangs at
this time, but a translation text has never been attempted, perhaps out
of respect for those who would not participate. Indeed late-December
holiday threads consistantly awake the 100-message police all the years
that I can remember.
If you are suggesting an offlist conlang-to-conlang translation relay
then I would quite happily participate as such an exercise could quickly
move away from the original text and the results could be quite
subversive!
