A little late, but I wanted to post a note of thanks from Lisa and I for all of the support and patronage this year, as well as for years past.
We wish each of you a safe and fulfilling holiday season and a fruitful new year.

The original word was Xhristos, which is Greek, This is where we get the greek/english hybrid word Xmas. Other people also realize that the X symbol is commonly referred to as "cross" as the two lines cross each other, which is also a Christian reference, so since the origins of "Xmas" are deeply rooted in the christian faith, there should be no reason to be "cross" about the use of the word "Xmas".
Yes there are a few people who use the word specifically to "take the Christ out of Christmas", but that is their own intent, and they probobly dont realize that the origin of Xmas is entirely Christian, so they consequently fail to anyone that knows better.
But since I also know that Christians are not the only one celebrating a holiday this season, I should probobly be politically correct and wish everyone...
Happy Christma-haunna-kwaunzika!!!!!

The only reason I abbreviated to X-Mas was to try to spell it right (and I was about to leave for a party so I had to post fast), for some reason I always spell Christmas wrong, with 2 ss. And I even spelled X-Mas wrong in my above post so I suppose it didn't help.
