The X in Xmas doesn't mean what you probably think it means. Where did we get the X in Xmas?

  • I really think it depends on the person's heart behind it... Some people write "X-mas" instead of "Christmas" because they understand the meaning; others use the X because they deliberately want to offend. I would hope that TRUE Christians, actual disciples of Christ, would not throw a fit over something like that though. I don't think that Christians really exemplify the character of Christ by scolding atheists and non-believers.

  • @JamesisHere93 I believe you're on to something there, James. Intent is what's important. All we can do is choose our response. I choose not to be offended.

  • oooo... you "abbreviated" the Christ and made him "short"... LOL - personally, i use the X for different reasons other than being lazy. I just get tired of seeing "Christ" plastered all over the place, and "X" seems to be a good way to mark the spot, so I "X" him outta there... I guess I'm just mean... ha ha

  • @the1observant You're not mean. You're just unaware of the origins & think your being mean.

  • I usually like decorating but just not this year for some strange reason. Put up the tree yesterday for the kids which they and the cat have already destroyed. Merry X-mas!

  • @PamelaCavesGifford I wonder if I started hating decorating when we had a cat. hmmmm...

  • it's short and makes me think of porn. so does XXX = kikiki?

  • @theBarefoot - no, I'm aware of the origins. I also know before Xmas there was XPmas. Not sure why the P was dropped though. Maybe they wanted to save money on parchment???. But anywho, I tried that route one time before and tried to explain is was still a respectful way to write it. It's just plastered in their heads it has to be "Christ" and anything else is disrespectful... Sooo, I use X on purpose because it gets under their skin. Told ya I was mean... ha ha.

  • @rubyfreehold and you!

  • Merry Xmas, Randy. And Happy Yule too :)
