You are wrong about that. Xmas goes way back in Christian history. The letter X was used as a secret shorthand in the early days referring to the Cross and Christ. During the persecution Christians used it as a way to avoid the persecutors and signal others. Look it up. Something like that anyway. Here are a few sources regarding the language: https://www.dictionary.com/e/xmas-christogram/ http://www.crivoice.org/symbols/xmasorigin.html 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've known about that, but present day isn't quite to that point right now in my locale. I don't "run with the sheep" I go my own way and don't apologize for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 If you are Christian you are one of Jesus flock. Back to music references, walk, don't run. I am sorry to hear that your locale isn't up to the 15th century yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Crowe was four years old, the family, which has Welsh, Māori, Norwegian, Scottish and Italian ancestors, emigrated to Australia. So he is Australian after all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
