So, William... no Jews allowed at this concert? No non-christians?

Seems to me all were invited, and the concert was properly named.

christ (for some reason you didn't capitalize it, so I didn't) may be the reason for *your* holiday during this time of the year, but please don't be so arrogant as to assume what YOU are celebrating is being (or must be) celebrated by all.

Happy Holidays!
And, Merry Christmas!
