And to you as well. I personally have been going with 'Merry Mas' these past few days, since I celebrate Christmas without the Christ.  ;) Never got the point of X-mas. It's harder to say than the original and doesn't mean anything different, to my knowledge.

Merry Christmas!

Well, wishing someone a happy x-kah within this context would be wishing them a happy Christ-kah, so I think they'd have pretty damn good reason to be offended :P

But yes, Merry Christmas to ye.

I know the feeling, I feel the same things for "CE" and "BCE". And I think x-mas is just a lazy faster way to type christmas. An abbreviation of some sort.

Fun fact: the "X" in "Xmas" is actually the Greek letter chi, Χ, which stands for Χριστός (Christ).  So it means the exact same thing!
Also, Merry Boxing Day everybody.

Well I never.

Difference being that both X-mas and Christmas imply a relation to the Jesus, while BCE/CE and BC/AD differ on that aspect.

Have a happy Boxing day, everyone, even though I'm not entirely sure what it is. The day upon which boxes are used as sleds in whimsical racing events? That sounds like a blast; I hope that's it.

I think Boxing Day is the day that you toss out the boxes. Or maybe it celebrates Joseph knocking out the three wise men after they did something.
Theology isn't my strong suit...
