@Corai: Apparently you slept in history class. Christmas is DIRECTLY derived from a slur of "Christ's Mass", and is a celebration of the birth of Jesus. @Screw: I don't know whether this is true, but note that the "X" in X-mas resembles the Greek letter "Chi", which is the first letter of Christ in Greek. If the X is directly derived from that, Xmas is perfectly okay. @Mex: Have some respect for Christians, or any other religion for that matter. Jesus is humble, but he's God and deserves respect. Besides, would you really want to not attend your Savior's birthday party?
