I prefer not to X Christ out of Christmas.

Caroline

I do prefer to use 'X' because Xmas, to me, is not much to do with the "Christ" it refers to in its name. Rather, it's a winter thanksgiving festival which just happened to have been adopted by Christians.

I think, it's just being lazy puting Xmas instead of Christmas. Are we on msn lol, g2g,?

Caroline, your answers demonstrates that you do not understand. The X is a Greek symbol for Christ. It was adopted by the early church as a symbol for Christ as the it is the first Greek letter in Christ. Hence we have the Ichthus, IXOYE, Jesus Christ Son of God Lord and Savior.
