Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

I have no idea if this is a novel idea. It just popped into my head while listening to news of merchants and malls that did not want to promote the Feast of Christmas--the "Reason for the Season" as they say. The idea of many is to keep Christmas strictly "multicultural" and totally non-religious. Suppose "Christmas-friendly" merchants sported small signs such as this in their store windows?

A persistent soul has been asking "how to pronounce cantemus ?" The Latin "Cantemus Domino" is found often. The marvelous blog by Aristotle A. Esguerra uses this term as his URL and it means " We Sing to the Lord ." Here is another example by Rossini found in the ChoralWiki. The verb cantare is declined as shown here with "cantemus" being the first person plural form or "we sing". I'd pronounce this Can té mus which would be rendered "kahn-tay'-muss." The accent is on the second syllable and the "a" is a soft "a". It is not the "can" as in "tin can" but more like "kahn" and the "mus" is not the muss as in "muss one's hair" but a soft "u" sound as in the word "put."
