Are they trying to get rid of 'christ'? I hope not. I just dislike it when people use x-mas instead of christmas.
Anyone agree? What's your thoughts?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :)

I can't stand the X either, but it isn't taking the Christ out of Christmas at all. The "X" was actually used by prosecuted Christians in Biblical time as code for "Christ".
So even if people are using the "X" it still really means Christ, so he's not being taken out.
Merry Christmas to you too!!

I agree with you, but if you haven't noticed yet, Christmas already doesn't have a lot of Christ in it. However, it really depends on the way you celebrate it. Many families just do it as a 'ritual' and give/receive presents.
That's why I don't exactly celebrate Christmas.
In Christ, Melodie

Well for one thing, "Merry X-mas" fits better on those tiny little gift tags.
Oh, by the way, newsflash: almost every ritual we have for celebrating Christmas comes from pagan traditions.
Merry Yuletide!

X-Mas is evil. You take Christ from school but they can never destroy the Christian holiday. It is a sin to put an X on Christ. They will all burn in hell.
