It's just 5 key strokes to type Christmas instead of xmas!
I hate the xmas word... but not as much as I hate the P word! :giggle:
CHRISTMAS!
Greed is slightly less. Materialism is more typing. Ummmm what about homeless?
yeah loads of different ways to spell things that are particularly relevant to this time of year
Yes poverty, loneliness and despair are all worthy things to consider, Yet still I think there is some room left for people to enjoy Christmas celebrations with family and friends.
:sad:
that must be txtmas then!
Xmas is a valid way of writing Christmas. A shortened form used since Christmas first started. The X isn't English X it's a Greek letter pronounced chi and is the first letter of Christ.
Just thought I'd mention it.
And I would say that poverty, fear and hopelessness are more significant blights on the festive period than how we write the name.
Not sure if anyone is interested - but I say a variant of Xmas on a Victorian magazine (courtesy of A Victorian Farm at Christmas). It was X-t-mas. But they would writ Tomas as Tho-s and such like.
