Dude wtf? Why are you taking this as a “personal attack”. I wasn’t attacking, just pointing out that to use the word “Christmas” you have to have a Christ. So the Who’s would have to have a “Christ” not THE SAME Christ. Sure Sues could have called it something else like “Wintermas” but he didn’t so the Who lore requires a Christ like figure.
What personal attack? Their point is pretty clear to me. They’re not talking about the holiday, they’re talking about the etymology of the actual word “christmas” which has its root in the word “christ”. For the whos to have the word “christmas” implys that they also have the word “christ”. Why would the whos have a word for “christ” unless they had their own version of a christ? If the whos didn’t have a christ (mythical or otherwise) then they wouldn’t have any reason to invent the word “christ”. Without the word “christ” the root for the word “christmas” isn’t there so the word " christmas" wouldn’t have been invented.
You’re focusing on the holiday but the actual celebration is irrelevant. It’s the use of the word “christmas” that implys who jesus. It’s the same as if the whos called the holiday “saturnalia” it would imply that they had a saturn.
You are getting too hung up on the “event” of Christmas. You are ignoring the “name” Those examples don’t call it the same name.
