Christmas and X-mas
I swear, some people are just complete door knobs!!
Christmas- Besides being December 25th and the day Christians mark as the celebration of the birth of Jesus (Christ's Mass), Christmas is also a Church season, running from December 25th to Epiphany (January 6th). It is this twelve-day period that is sometimes referred to as the Twelve Days of Christmas.
X-Mas- The last week of December centralized on the giving and reciving of gifts from one person to another. Derived from a Greek term where X meant "Christ" and Mas meant "Celebration" over the years the word has become distorted and is now what non-Christian's call the giving season. As of today "X-Mas" tends to mean just the giving and reciving holidays of December and not the birth of Christ. The term "Xmas" is frowned upon as being a shortened "Christmas" and evil for replacing "Christ" with an "X" but in truth, it is a way to make the holiday acessible for all people of all cultures.
I wrote, "7 Days till X-Mas" on the chalk board in my History class and people freaked and were like, "Why are you putting "Xmas" and not "Christmas"? What do you have against Christmas?"
I TRIED to explain the fact that "Xmas" is a term used by non-Catholic's then they were like, "Well this is a Catholic school so change it," and then I pointed out the fact that there's a Jewish student in the class who DOES celebrate Xmas although she isn't Catholic and they were just like, "So?" and I'm like, "So just because people choose to go to this school you can force your religion on all those who come?" and they didn't say much to that.
In conclusion my studies prove that in majority 60% of Catholic's that attend a Catholic school tend to have Xenophobia and are extremly ignorant to other religions. If you are one of these people I suggest you change your ways. Why?
In the world we live in now your either accepting of other cultures or a complete fucktard who everyone hates, personally I like other cultures and am not an asshole to there ideas and don't force my religion down there throats.
