related to Christmas

🎄 navideño = Navidad (Christmas) + -eño (adjective ending): of Christmas

Navidad comes from Latin nativitas, meaning birth, so it sounds like nativity. Add the suffix -eño, which marks belonging or origin, and you get navideño: Christmas-related, or a person from Christmas Island.
