I like watching all the naff TV shows and movies they put on over Xmas, pure cheese, but great cheese. I also like Xmas Eve, as it involves me getting very drunk with my closest friends.

Maybe heretics want to call it Xmas, or maybe the X stands for cross denomination. Or maybe I just like saying heretic.

I love the smell of pine trees.

Usage Note: Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of, “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=xmas

Just simply being with the ones you love (oh, and getting what you wanted all year....j/k :laugh: )

Cool!
The X is the Greek letter chi, the initial in the word Xpi s t ós (Christos)
"Christ."

What looks like an "X" in "Xmas" comes from the Greek letter which
also looks like an "X". This letter is called (at least by English
speakers) "chi" (pronounced "ki" to rhyme with "high" or "sky") and is
sometimes used in math and other sciences.

Chi-Rho First two letters in the word Christ. So that's what that thing is. I learn something new everyday. :)
