The conventional wisdom that the use of the word Xmas rather than Christmas is that it's some societal way of removing the religious aspect of the word. But these people who believe that are retarded. Xmas is a hybrid Greek/english spelling of Christmas used for several hundred years. X is the greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the greek spelling of Christ.
But Preacher JoeBob at your local Southern Baptist or Grace Cult church doesn't know that and incorrectly condemns 'Xmas' as a commercialization thing.11/19/2005 9:07:41 PM |

^^I've checked Overstock for many different items just to compare prices and I haven't really seen much difference between them and a regular store. 11/19/2005 9:44:37 PM |

The documented use of the word "Xmas" predates the King James bible by a good 50-60 years. 11/19/2005 11:20:17 PM |

check the resellerratings.com reviews for overstock (or any other online store for that matter) before purchasing - I think they're only getting about a 1.5 out of 10.
btw - christmas isn't spelled with an X, and I'm not even a church fascist - celebrate the winter solstice if you're going the secular route 11/20/2005 8:12:53 PM |

hahaha, I have to agree-- and it's insulting to some to "abbreviate" CHRIST with an 'x'11/21/2005 10:37:04 AM |
