Fantabulous as always!

I've probably asked you this before, sorry, but my brain is like a sieve these days... Just out of curiosity, why do you abbreviate it as "Cmas" rather than "Xmas"? I've never seen "Cmas" used anywhere else, so I've been wondering if it's a local regional variant or something. The inquiring linguistics geek in me wants to know. ;)

I love the use of "cmas." When I was a born-again teenage Christian, I loathed the use of "xmas" since it seemed disrespectful and very wrong. I'm no longer a teenager, and I don't really think I'm a Christian either, but I still hate "xmas."

Why would Xmas be disrespectful or wrong? It has very old, logical, and perfectly respectful roots with no hints of mocking or any other negative implication.

X is an ancient usage -- X = Chi for Christ. The
Greeks used it back in the 5th century and beyond.

Exactly. Χριστος = Khristos, whence comes the English, Christ.

Once again, a little education goes a long way.

It's so long ago now that I can't remember what the preacher had against using xmas, but I think he considered the x to be a lazy SUBSTITUTE for writing Christ.

Hey, it was a VERY strict Free Methodist church group I stumbled (briefly) into; don't ask me to explain their values! I have been liberal all my life, and thus didn't last very long in THAT congregation!

See, now that I can kind of see. But then "Cmas" would be just as bad. Hmm...

Oh well.

Happy Holidays whatever you celebrate this year! :)

But I guess the real question should be, perhaps there is some reason why Xmas should be considered disrespectful. Is there? Why did it seem that way to you, Morph?

Again, the linguistics geek in me really wants to know.

Aw, thanks! :X :X :X

Y'know, I'm not entirely sure when that started, I just always have! I liked the way it looked more than with the x. Ah, man, now I wish I had a more interesting linguistics answer for ya, hee.

That's okay. Just one more piece of creative output from the Ree!brain. I was just curious since I've never seen it anywhere else but in your icons.

Hope you had a good one, and a very happy 2009 to you!
