Why do the majority of the comments on here have to be filled with pretentious fops who feel the need to show off their vocabulary at every chance they get. No one cares where you went to school, what you learned, what you do for a living and how it relates to linguistics or language or what level of education you are at. Must we continue to feed our egos on this? Does it really make that much of a difference to advertise these meaningless details to people we don't know?

@stryfe1000 That's not the point. This is perfect for someone to make a rebuttal against a pedantic prude who wants to make a BIG deal out of saying xmas instead of christmas. It's still the same holiday. There is no "proper" term
-
this is just an excuse anyway, doesn't matter whether it means Christ or not, the official term IS Christmas. Besides it's not like it's common knowledge that X means Christ.

-
"X" IS for "Christ".
