St. Lucia's Day-a scandinavian tradition.
I've heard both "Advent" and "Winter Lent" used.

Not even Virgin Mary has a day that is being celebrated. But I'm going wildly off topic. Please ignore.

Nativity Fast?I don't see why Advent wouldn't be a good term, it just means 'coming' in Latin. But I know some people who doesn't like the words Christmas or Easter either, so to each his own.
