Well, if you want to go for a calque ("Jesus's birthday" or (duplicating
English "Christmas") "Jesus-festival"), go back to Hebrew "Y@shua" (@ = shva)
and try >*yeSu'a* qoS Quch Daghajjaj< or >*yeSu'a* yupma' Quch Daghajjaj<. Of
course, there's always >*QiSmaS*<, and you might try >lop< instead of >ghaj<...
