"christmas" or "xmas"?

[nature boy]

xmas is way easier, but there are times i refrain just so i don't offend anyone.

xmas is such a cop out. People want to celebrate Christmas without any of the religious implications of it, which is pretty sad.

[nature boy]

we do that all the time. what's so religious about trees and decorations?

[geForce]

I think if you want to decorate and stuff, it's fine if you're actually celebrating that holiday. If you're celebrating a holiday you don't believe in, that's different.

lol, that's my point. putting up a tree and decorations isn't "celebrating" the "holiday" which you refer. putting up the tree and decorations is celebrating the winter solstice, as done by pagans in the 1300's or something. the christians just did it to hide their christianity or something like that.

saw this on facebook. thought it was appropriate. linus is bang on, by the way (i guess i was wrong with my 1300 guess).
