I suggest "Christmas (Old Calendar)". After some additional searching,
it appears that, in addition to the Orthodox Churches I mentioned in my
original report, some (but not all) Eastern Catholics continue to use
the Julian calendar as well, so I think it'd be more accurate not to use
the word "Orthodox"; and "Old Calendar" instead of "Julian Calendar"
because the former seems to be in more general use--at least in
English--among those who'd use it.
