i don't know if this has been posted before or not.. but what's the deal with x-mas? why x-mas and not christmas? is it supposed to be bleeping Christ in CHRISTmas to not relate it to christians as to be fair to non-christians? a little ridiculous don't you think?

 
well acutally xmas is used just because its shorter than typing or writing out christmas. And the reason ive always thought of xmas is because of christ, like chris cross = xmas. Hahah yea so there ya go

its true, the x is like taking christ away from christmas. which is ironic, because christ is the intended purpose of the entire holiday.

'What is the X in XMAS?

Short Hand: The idea of using ‘X’ in place of Christ is not a modern idea. In the Modern Roman Alphabet, the first letter of the word ‘Christ’ is ‘chi’ which is represented by a symbol similar to the letter ‘X’.

You will frequently see people write Xmas as well as Xian, which means Christian, using the same principle. Cross and Chi -- Two chi's superimposed upon one another. The chi in its normal position represents Christ. The chi in the position of the cross represents Christ's crucifixion.'

^ and there it is discussion over!

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

xmas is used just because its shorter than typing or writing out christmas.

the whole arguement that it's too shorten it is pretty debunk. I have yet to see anyone write xeen for halloween. Halloween is the same amount of letters as Christmas and let's not forget Thanksgiving, or a great many other holidays.

Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Ski.

 
wow, that makes perfect sense...plus i had to take a dumb statistics course....and now that makes sense...chi.

Some people think that the X is crossing out the Christ so they do not like to see that

if anything it should be tmas, because the t symbolizes the crucifix... I dont know. the x doesn't make any sense to me either.

it's def. just taking the Christ out of Christ mas. It's because today's nation is so scared of segrigation and offending others so they think saying Xmas won't offend muslims and that schiz. It's rediculous, pretty childish.

What about 'happy Holidays!' then? I heard that it's not poltically correct to say Merry Christmas in the States anymore because of freedom of belief.

X-mas was started because there are people who are extremely anti-christian and they dislike the word 'christ' in christmas. So they started X-mas. Now it's gone so far that I've had people actualy get upset with me for saying 'Merry Christmas' instead of 'Happy Holidays'

I say if you don't beleive in Christmas, then don't celebrate it instead of trying to change it.
