Christmas is the real thing. You are being selfish.
No, Coke is the real thing...remember it's all about marketing.
You refuse to give up your incorrect assumptions about the X in Xmas despite numerous times of being proven wrong...so who's being selfish?
LOL... avishai...
i love santa!!
Hibiscusfire, you said this:

This webpage is about young peoples' thoughts and feelings about "Xmas", if either of the above were originally written by you it would explain a *lot*.
If you *aren't* just a troll (*cough*), then stop plagiarising ridiculously unimformed points of view! Can't you be *ignorant* using your *own* opinions?!
WOW!

When I see an “X” replacing the Christ in Christmas it is upsetting. I feel that it is taking the meaning out of Christmas. It is like saying that what happened on that day wasn’t important. Jesus the Savior is born and that is what it really is about. It is not about presents, Santa, and Christmas trees, although that stuff is fun.
They also do the same thing with Thanksgiving. They call it Turkey Day. Well, it isn’t all about turkeys, it’s about telling what you’re thankful for and actually being thankful. So let’s put the meaning back in Christmas and not be lazy by calling it Xmas!

Funny that Hibiscusfire didn't copy and paste this one:
"By Natalie Bishop
Centuries have passed, time has flown by, and many Christmas celebrations have come and gone. Christmas is a holiday that originated to commemorate Christ’s birth, which is why many feel disturbed with the replacement of “X” for “Christ” in Christmas.
Although some take offense at the X-ing out of “Christ” in Christmas, others see it as a mere abbreviation. “X,” in the Greek language, was used to represent the word “Christ.” Therefore, this abbreviation would seem to be appropriate. The uninformed individual, without knowing this fact, could be offended.
Christians are aware that there are many in this country trying to remove religion from daily life. Prayer and the Ten Commandments have been removed from schools and activists have attempted to take “One Nation, Under God” out of the roots of America.
Is it any wonder that “X” in place of “Christ” causes a stir?
Personally, it seems logical to abbreviate “Christ” with “X” as long as your focus is in the right place. I find myself seeing no difference in the meaning of the two words. They both bear the same significance in honoring one of the most awesome gifts God has given mankind.

I think that maybe the worse "IN YO FACE" this site has ever seen. Glitter, good job.

If you hadn't noticed before glitter I did mention eg on pg 18...
"There is no “X” even in the word Christmas! And even if there was, let’s take any other holiday or even your own personal birthday, how would you like it if no one even took time out to recognize your birth. I know I would feel un-appreciated or even un-loved. gift He sent us, Jesus Christ. The whole reason why Christmas even is, is to celebrate the birth of this Man, this innocent and perfect Man whom we learn later was crucified and resurrected after three days.
Christmas has been distorted to some fantasy time of year, even to the point where people try and leave Christ out and replace it with a big “X” that signifies absolutely nothing.
Don’t take the history out of Christmas. Just know the only true gift we have received is the birth of our Savior, Jesus."

Yes these are comments from other people other than myself and it was to show you that I am not the only person who think the same about the X in X-mas.
Now if you go back and notice again I never put my signature as Hibiscusfire at the end.
Ha! You think you're so smart you're stupid. ....I did that deliberately glitter mouth!!!
LOL!
So I'm not busted because I didn't do anything wrong.
