The abbreviation of "Xmas" for Christmas, long reviled by many
conservative and Low Church Christians, is not nearly as blasphemous as

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.
