That would make for a nice long word:)  I don't seem to have a word for
'anniversary' so far, and I suppose it should be put together like
'datreveno.'  Date is saldei (year day),  again is gen.  Maybe gendei (again
day) could mean anniversary.  So:

jeiuzojonmogendei

Might do.

But in common parlance, I suppose jeidei (Jesus Day) would work for Xmas.
