Writing “Xmas” is actually theologically sound.

The Associated Press advises against using the abbreviation “Xmas” when writing about Christmas, but doing so is actually perfectly acceptable, theologically speaking. The Greek letter X, or Chi, is the first letter of “Christ” and served as a stand-in for Jesus’s name dating back to at least 1100. In 1551, Christmas was known as “Xtemmas,” and eventually it was shortened to “Xmas.”

What does this mean for Malcolm X? Or the X-Men?

It has been said that God, when making the human body, put extra nerves in "that area" because when the people were doing it He wanted them to call His name.

Maybe God does have a good sense of humor.

Now this thread has gone off the rails. Imagine that.

The traditions of the holiday do little if anything to remember or commemorate the birth or life of Jesus. People want to get together, eat, and get presents, it really is a secular holiday.
