So you worship a pagan Holiday in December and are worried in August.

The X in Xmas is the Greek chi. It is a traditional abbreviation for Christ. People who complain about this sound pretty ignorant to me. And where in the X did this thread come from in August?

I love Christmas music. Listen to it year round.


I really like "Baby It's Cold Outside."

Less for it's holiday spirit and more because it's a classy way to let a lady know you've slipped her a Mickey.

I don't think this is true. The x was put their by Jewish merchants trying to remove Christ from Christmas. That's what my racist grandmother taught me and I stay strong in my belief.

Good grief. The Emperor Constantine moved Christmas to the winter solstice to eradicate the last vestiges of paganism. He overtook their celebration by taking some of the symbolism. Celebrating the birth of Christ is by definition, not pagan. The enlightened atheists often seem to know nothing about history.

Meh, sounds like more jewy propaganda. I'll hit up grandma and report back with my findings.

If you get pissed at "Xmas", I'm going out on a limb and say that others around you do not take you for a "laid back guy".

X literally means Christ in Greek or whatever old language. Get over it.

Xmas is all made up bullshite anyway. It is Saturnalia... Saturns birthday. Dumb Christians who like to burn all non believers at the stake changed it to jesus birthday like 100 years after he was dead.

Go to Rome and you will feel the full affect of the Christians destroying everything they dont like and then making you force your kids to go to church cause your grandma did it.
