Christmas or Xmas?

[scubadiva]

Do you prefer calling it Xmas or Christmas?

Xmas is basically the secular side of Christmas. This is just the non-religious side of it, none of the nativity and things, only trees and presents and decorations.

Christmas is basically the religious side of it. Nativity plays and Jesus' birth and all of those things. All of the other trimmings come under this too, such as Santa and presents and decorations etc.

Most non-Christian people are secular, although some are only 'religious' when it comes to Christmas.

So what do you believe in?

Personally, I believe in Christmas, and the religious side of it, as I am a Christian.

Xmas is just short for christmas? It has nothing to do with what you said? :S

[dirrty]

i write xmas && say christmas. xmas cause its easier lol

& like above post said, xmas is just christmas but written shorter & differently or w.e

[scubadiva]

Xmas wasn't first made as an abbreviation, it was for non-religious people who wanted the presents and fun even though they didn't believe in the festival. It takes the 'Christ' out of Christmas :rolleyes:

Christmas, Xmas is non existant :p

[risque]

Wikipedia;

"Xmas" and "X-mas" are common abbreviations of the word "Christmas".

&

Many people believe that the term is part of an effort to "take Christ out of Christmas" or to literally "cross out Christ";[citation needed] it is also seen as evidence of the secularization of Christmas or a vehicle for pushing political correctness, or as a symptom of the commercialization of the holiday (as the abbreviation has long been used by retailers).

and so on.

I call it Christmas, anywayy.

Wha? no its not o.0

Xmas means christmas, it just uses the greek abbreviation of the spelling of “Christ” with the “X” representing the Greek letter chi.
