- Go to Some People Find Abbreviating Christmas To "Xmas," Somewhat Offensive
I learned this at a young age in Catholic School so I was never offended by the Xmas, but boy, do I know some people who sure are...

I thought of it on the bus yesterday morning Yes. X was a symbol for Christ. Maybe some don't know it.

Good post. Though I never use the X myself, It has never bothered my that other people might. It is what is in a persons heart that matters.

A very interesting history there. I myself had never heard about X-Mas being offensive until the past few years.

Re: I am math challenged as well, Pat_B.
You are probably right in your assessment though.

X is also the "unknown" factor in math - and the ultimate answer - at
least that's the way I understand it. So the mystery of the Christ story - it seems to me, could equal "X" to those who understand math. I admit I'm math challenged...

Sassy, I've learned something new today. I always write out Christmas but at least I know it's okay if I don't. I never wanted to be disrespectful.
