Ireland & Christmas-yes, I'm a Christian, I don't say X-mas

[aceflamingo23]

Zuko, did you know that the first letter in the Greek word for Christ is Chi, and Chi is represented by an X symbol? X-mas is a completely proper abbreviation for Christmas, and has been around almost as long as Christianity itself.

No, what I mean by "X-mas" is because people who don't believe in Christ don't want him in their everyday-life so they take him out of "Christ"mas and make it "X"-mas. And many of us, Christians, don't like that. And, yes, Chi does mean "X" but it only is meant for "P" in the next part of the (sorry I can't get the symbol on this computer :/)
If the "P" and the "X" aren't together in one symbol, then it doesn't count as Christ's holy name.

ace has a wonderful point, and I have never met an atheist who has called it x-mas and I only hear Christians call it x-mas I have never heard of the notion that its a nonbeliever specific term I think that is just urban legend really...
although there might be a few
