I am still a bit busy with last minute stuff, but no doubt I will be finished by Wednesday :p If not, it can wait till next Christmas which isn't too far away :madchrist
 
Am I loking forward to Christmas? Sure... but I'm not excited about doing my shopping.

They're not really "deleting" any thing. Xmas is just an old abreviation that stems from the greek language. The first letter of the Greek word for "Christ" is Chi, which looks like an X.

looks like everyone isnt' looking forward to the shopping thing. That was interesting about the Greek shortcut, i thought i was just one of those english shortcuts.
Well i've got all my x-mas shopping, the christmas holidays should almost be renamed 'shopping before the rest of the world stops'.

Ugh, please no more talk of changing the name of Christmas.
I've heard enough of that garbage already this year. :rolleyes:
 
Let's make it all politically correct and celebrate giving and receiving presents...no matter what significant date it is. And call it something othere than Christmas.

As for X-mas, I think it should only be used on signs and what not as an abbr. Defnitely no need to verbally use it, or type on a message board.

And all my shopping is done...did it all at one store, the store I work at, and get a 10% discount at...(at least I don't work in fast food).

Quite a stretch I'd say...a true urban legend...up there with the aligators in the sewers of NYC.

The first letter of the Hawaiian word for "Christ" is ah-oi which looks like a telephone pole...so, I'm going with Merry T-mas. :cool:
