1 point for the shifty Romanian. My bet would be because there's a whole lot of jewish people in NYC. I used to know a guy who told me he'd never go there and always refered to it as "Jew York". Yeah...I didn't talk to him much after that.
Personally I don't care what you celebrate or what you want stuff called. Just because the name of the day contains the name "Christ" doesn't mean it's got a damn thing to do with Jesus. All of the traditional holidays in christianity can be traced back and not-so-loosely tied to pagan holidays...usually celtic. Early christianity took what it wanted from paganism and left the rest. I mean look at the whole ceremony for receiving the eucharist...seems an aweful lot like cannibalism, no? Like hell I'm eating someone's body and drinking their blood, metaphorically or otherwise.
