Seriously, people think they're taking Christ out of Christmas by saying Xmas, but X is actually the Greek letter for Christ. Xmas is only an abbreviation.

The Greek letter is Chi which is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ. Similarly Xian is also an old "Xian" term that uses the same abbreviation.
As an aside, the skull and crossbones used to be a Xian symbol of mortality, i.e. to remind them that their time on this earth was limited.

I think that the complaint is against making it Xmas, so it is kind of ironic that people are not taking Christ out of Christmas.

the letter is the Greek letter which begins the Greek word for christ -- it looks like an English X.

Yeah, I always thought it was just another way to abbreviate something in our new fast-paced, text message version of English we use today.

properly if he likes you he does no longer call you names, he's clearly attempting to instruct off in front of this 'tuff guy' enable him, if he truthfully likes then you definately he will make the attempt in any different case he for sure does not. basically permit him come to you init, then you definately will locate out whether he likes you or no longer. yet another determination; ask him to his face if he likes you, and tell him approximately your emotions. wish i helped.. bye.
