You'll find the anti X-Mass folks spring up here on FR every year. Explanations about Greek don't help, they know they're right, so don't confuse them with history.
Speaking of that type thing, aren't we about due for another Fluoridated water thread and argument?
Or maybe it's the gold-bugs turn.

The worst are the high and pious who refuse to vote for a candidate with whom they agree 99%, against a candidate with whom they disagree 100%. They are way too common on ‘our’ side and quite rare on theirs.

I say 'Happy Holidays' all the time I think I'll start doing that...for everything...except Christmas.
So, come "Presidents Day"...Happy Holidays, Fourth of July...Happy Holidays, Labor Day...Happy Holidays....Halloween...You get the picture.

Well ok.
Think about this, though. The origin of the word holiday, of course, is holy day
So New Year’s Day, a catholic feast day, Christmas certainly fit. Halloween definitely not. And then there are federal holidays. But Christmas is a holiday.

I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just thought I’d up the ante on your idea.
I believe Halloween (hallowed evening) or All Saints Day does have a religious standing, but was originally derived from pagan origins to popularize Christianity, as were other holidays.
Labor Day is a holy day where the union thugs worship the god of labor...Jimmy Hoffa.

However, motivated by Christmas Spirit, I feel they would have done better by kicking him out after they had reached 2,500 feet. . . . Over a mosque.With a pig under each arm.

Several years ago a waitress heard me talking about how I say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, and just how silly the latter phrase is in this country.
She actually said the word happy, followed by a longer word somewhat like your cartoon that put out every possible holiday.........
I was kind of shocked, but then she seemed about as smart as most bamster voters.
To: exit82
Well, I need all the blessings I can get!
Merry Christmas! ;-)

X-mas.....I had learned from Greek historians that the “X” comes from Grecian meaning Christ. Am I wrong? There was a big discussion on a local radio show of how the ‘X’ is a diabolical scheme to take Christ out of history.

Yes, the Greek letter chi looks like X and it was used to abbreviate the Christ part of Christmas, because it's the first letter of the word.

Oh so the plane was not in the air when he was kicked off........too bad!
I have been saying Merry Christmas to everyone I have talked to for a week and I have gotten nothing but smiles from them. I guess I hang around with the right people.
