Xmas, Xmas, Xmas - so sue me

I found this link when I was researching facts about Christmas for a pub quiz.

Not irreligious apparently

of course you're right hmc!

Theologians use an X for "Christ" (when making notes etc) - well all my lecturers did and I did when I was teaching RS so Xmas is a perfectly good abbreviation

I just don't like the way the word looks (says the woman with an X in her last name )

I just don't like it either.

Not for any particular reason.

Good bit of irrationality there, lol.

tries really hard to get worked up

nope, sorry, even though most people are not using the word as a term of theological respect, it still doesn't really bother me. Apart from the cheapo-shop-space-saving element to it, and that's just a taste issue.
