XKINDLMARKT
"We don't understand why our sponsorship would be rejected for religious reasons, particularly considering the fact that our film details the story that inspired the holiday season that the Christkindlmarket was created to celebrate," New Line Cinema spokesman Robert Pini said in a statement.
Clips from a Hollywood movie about the Nativity aren't going to be shown at a Chicago Christkindlmarkt because of the possibility of offending some folks! Hollywood gets a taste of some of its own medicine here.
I think that the Chicago Plaza needs to change the name of their holiday festival to
Xkindlmarkt. I mean after all, people may get the wrong impression about the event with the name Christ in it. You would start to think it's like a religious holiday or something.

Well, the name of Christ Jesus is known to torment demons, which is why the folks in charge of the party, out of concern for themselves and their guests, will not abide mention of Him.
Hey Tiber!
"Xkindlemart," is far too offensive. People will assume that the "X" is the abbreviation of "Xristos" (Christ" in Greek), as is true in "X-Mas."
I suggest it be called "Ex-Kindlemart," and the "Ex" can stand for "excess."
running late--gotta dash.
