An Education in X

I recently had a conversation with a dear friend regarding the use of “X-Mas.”  I was grateful because I was educated on something that they didn’t teach me at Catholic school.  Until I had this discussion, I was under the impression that “X-Mas” was a lazy person’s Christmas – or worst, taking the Christ out of Christmas.  While my friend’s explanation was succinct and helpful, I am sure mine wouldn’t be, so I am cheating ~ click on the picture below & it should take you to a site that has the detail.

I still prefer that people don’t use “X-Mas” because I doubt the masses are aware that it is acceptable, but I don’t mind it as much from my friend that educated me.
