What was it that removed the word that started the whole thing?

Did Christmas become X-rated? LOL

I think it's less Christmas and more Giftmas.

probably some lazy bugger who couldn't be bothered to right out the whole thing.

wikipedia has a thing on it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas

That's very interesting. It makes a bit more sense now.

I still think they might as well change it to giftmas. What does Christ have to do with it anymore? It's advertised as cheap **** to give and receive.

... a lot of people just celebrate it as a tradition now, that have been added to the day... the food, the family get together, the drinks, the father christmas stuff, the gifts and the general merriment the day brings. On countries with a foundation of christianity, and a lot of people not turning to religion anymore, I think a lot of people celebrate the day out of tradition as opposed to them being christian, which is why the commercial aspect of it has boomed I guess. There's a large amount of people that have been christened as children and are not particularly religious anymore, or people that don't really take a religion on board, but their family members before them celebrated so they do.
