Jovin Rausi (December 4) has little to worry about with the downgrading of Christmas to "Xmas".

In the area of London where I live, the local council has banned the use of the word Christmas altogether. They favour "Winterval" or "Winter Festival" so as "not to offend Muslims". From a recent visit to Malta, there appears to be a refreshingly respectful attitude towards Christians and Christianity.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas!
