The word Christmas is not a pronoun, it is a noun, a singular, proper, abstract noun or an adjective. The possessive form is Christmas's. Example uses:

Noun: This Christmas we will be visiting my grandmother.

Adjective: We will bring her some Christmas gifts.

Possessive noun: Christmas's weather was mild this year.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

With modern day pronoun fascination by radical liberal democrats, I wonder what Santa puts in stockings that say they/them, probably a lump of coal.

Have fun and Merry Christmas.

Whatever happened to a noun ending in ‘s’ simply ending in the apostrophe to signify possession?

‘Thomas’ eyes are blue’.

It is also an irregular verb:

We will be Christmassing in Vermont this year............

Add a superfluous ‘s’ to balance out all the ignoramuses who think plurals get an apostrophe. Can’t risk a distortion of the gravitational flux.

Proper English is racis'. In Ebonics we teach:

Wuz da nite befo Crimmus
An' all ower de hood;
Ereybody wuz' sleepin'
Dey wuz sleepin' good.
