The use of Xmas is not new and I don't believe it's meant as a slight or to be disrespectful. Having said that, I do prefer writing out " Christmas"

I prefer to write out Christmas but I have never taken offense with Xmas. I just figure some are too lazy to write Christmas.

I can accept either.

And a Merry Christmas or Merry Xmas to all of you.

Those folks writing Xmas, are probably the same who fail to use their turn signals. It takes a little more effort. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.

This was very enlightening. In just the intro I learned something new.

When I grew up as a child in church, I was taught the X meant Christ and is the Greek letter representing representing Christ.
I quote :

Myth: “Xmas” is a non-religious name / spelling for “Christmas”.
It turns out, “Xmas” is not a non-religious version of “Christmas”. The “X” is actually indicating the Greek letter “Chi”, which is short for the Greek

, meaning “Christ”. So “Xmas” and “Christmas” are equivalent in every way except their lettering.

Is this an example of something being ironic? "Religious freaks" is okay but "xmas" is not?

Shakespeare said, "A rose is a rose by any other name."

Merry Christmas to everyone!

A nice gift for Christmas would be a head to go with that eyeball.

Whenever I use Xmas, I do so thinking the X was the cross Jesus died on. No disrespect.
