I need to make an engraving that says “Christmas 2004” in Spanish of the Mexican dialect (if there is one). Can anyone please help me? Should it be “Navidad 2004”, “La Navidad 2004” or something else entirely?

Really? Almost 3 hours and no assistance to be found? I figured you guys would have this one whopped inside 10 minutes! I mean, you remember when everyone wanted to know about pan-fried semen? Who stepped up to the plate, huh? Ok, it wasn’t me, but there was the time that someone wanted to know about … uh … Yeah, I got nuthin’.

But please translate. Please.
