 |

I have seen a lot of people on this board write Xmas instead of Christmas. Just wondering what the point is behind it. Seems funny that people don't want to take the extra 2 seconds to write Christ. It is the name of the holiday.
Merry Christmas : ) |

I personally take all "Christ" out of my Xmas. Santa is the reason for the season!
Merry Xmas! |

lol, good reason. And if the name of the holiday was Santamas, then your explanation would make sense. |

| It seems more like a shorthand thing rather than a non-Christian thing. Hell, it practically shoves the cross right in your face. |
