![]() Reginald P. Smithers III wrote: The abbreviation of "Xmas" for Christmas, long reviled by many conservative and Low Church Christians, is not nearly as blasphemous as many contend. Rather than a sacrilegious removal of "Christ" from Christmas and replacing him with an unknown, as some claim, the "Xmas" abbreviation has a long history in the church. In fact, the symbol of the fish in the early church came from using the first letter of several titles used for Jesus (Jesus Christ Son of God Savior) that when combined spelled the Greek word for fish (icquV, ichthus). In that case, allow me to be the first to wish you a Merry Fishmas. :-) |

Every time someone says "Happy Holidays," an elf is eviscerated.

Chuck, why are you participating in a "blatant troll"? You don't see the difference between a silly remark about elves and a cut 'n paste editorial blasting some political figure or promoting a partisan agenda? Oh, yeah. That's right. You don't. After all, if you admitted to being able to do so, you could no longer fantasize that you're avoiding accountability for your choices. Have a pleasant day. |

Blatant troll that was, after about two replies, indeed "blasting a partisan agenda". Or, do you REALLY not understand the underlying messaged troll about "Happy Holidays and an elf gutted? |
