Why do you use the term "X-mas"?? It is taking Christ out of "Christmas", which is the celebration of Jesus' Birthday.

Sorry, but it's the truth, and it always got on my nerves!

Well, I for one absolutely refuse to call it x-mas.

It's the love that you give, not the presents you receive.

X is just easier to type. You shouldn't (you can't) judge someones true convictions or beliefs, especially religious, just by what they type. If I use an X, does that mean I don't love God or recognize the true meaning of Christmas? Of course not.

Merry Christmas!

I agree with mark.

Look at it this way when you see the "X" in Christmas.

The X stands for a Cross (as in criss-cross) that symbolizes what Jesus did for us.

Hey, let's not forget that Christmas is a purely commercial, secular holiday that should never be associated with any religion.

Derek,

Let me put your mind at ease. When you see Christmas written as Xmas, you should read it as "Christmas." In this case, the X is the greek letter Chi which is used in this instance to mean Christ. That is where the abbreviation comes from, not from the letter "x" in our alphabet.
