Christmas or Xmas?
I've noticed that most people on here stick to the traditional Christmas. I have to admit I'm not a big fan of Xmas, what does everyone else think? Quick poll!

Re: Christmas or Xmas?
not religious at all, well not Christian; but hate the word Xmas - just brings about all the things that are wrong with modern society and how fake people are now.

Re: Christmas or Xmas?
I stil pronounce Xmas as Christmas so in spoken language it makes no difference. If I'm chit-chatting it's Xmas, If I am writing formally (Cards, or at work) I use Christmas.

Re: Christmas or Xmas?
Definitely Christmas but when I was in Chicago last week, one thing that really got on my nerves was their constant use of the phrase "Happy holidays". I really hope it never catches on over here!
