The word is Christmas and I won't use "Xmas." Why should I.
No should about it, BUT.....
Someone, of this parish, already pointed-out, and I like the sentiment:
X in Xmas is for the undetermined quantity. EG Hanukkah, Diwali, Ramadan, Samhain, and maybe Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh.
It is a catchall for non-Christians.
Which is why I, tongue in cheek say Dawkinsmas, in lieu of any suitable appellation for Atheists.
