Are people really going to start getting riled up about Xmas again, even though it's not Thanksgiving yet?
How many times must it be demonstrated that "Xmas" is at least a four hundred year old abbreviation that meant no disrespect, but using the Greek letter Chi (which looks like our X), as the first initial in th title Christ?

And, as a special Christmas gift to me, can we skip the whole "Why do atheists celebrate Christmas/Why do Christians celebrate a pagan solstice festival?" brouhaha?
