Apparently the word Xmas has its origins in christian shorthand. Missionaries would write the word as +mas (imagine a crucifix) and that got changed to an X because of typewriters
Well I would say that there are 2 Chirstmases simultaniously the first one is the consumerist gift-giving family holiday, and the second is the birth of Christ holiday, and the first one is more dominant, and only smaller part of the population cares about the second one.
1. Disrespect towards God and the Church is not allowed here.
2. We honor the dignity of life from the womb to the tomb.
3. Debate about Scripture, tradition, politics, etc. are allowed when they do not directly contradict rule 1 (controversial history is an open topic when people are respectful).
4. Trolling, coomerisms, and poorly attempted humor may receive the mop at the discretion of those in charge.
5. Pray for your family, pray for your community, pray for your nation, and pray for rDrama.net. We need it! Prayer works!

Xmas ( formerly known as Christmas ) has now become a consumerist, post-Christian holiday without Jesus.

It's in reference to the Greek letter X, which is the first letter of Christ in Greek (Χριστός)
