If your conpeople don't celebrate Christmas, use a special holiday instead.

:pol: Jest prawie Boże narodzenie! Poland being a predominantly Catholic country, the term for 'Christmas' lends itself to the trinitarian belief that God and Christ are one and the same. 'Boże narodzenie' means literally 'the birth of God'.

Darwin day is near to now.

The proximal case 'weth' (near to) could be replaced with the adpusessive 'wuuth' (next to/imminent) to give a sense that Christmas is extremely close (perhaps on Christmas Eve).

She was born still, and by Her Stillness, She moves humanity to prove faith by their actions. More later...}
