Wouldn't it mean something like "lucky birth" (perhaps referring to
immaculate conception)?  But why is there this whole concept of Netwonmass;
I don't think one gets the point across about the idea of Christmas or what
it has become by snarkily ridiculing it.  The atheist in my life doesn't
need anything for the holidays under the guise of some fake one.
