Astoria - no way, you're Greek and living in Astoria? :) Kidding, I feel I can bust a little being I studied Ancient Greek Art Hostory and Philosophy in Undergrad - hope you don't mind me being a little jokster :-0

ALL -

The word for "Christ" in Greek is "Xristos." during the Sixteenth Century, Europeans began using the first initial of Christ's name...the "X" of "Xristos"...in place of the word "Christ" as a shorthand version of the word "Christmas".

So, for those who think X takes the Christ out of Cgristmas, think twice

Hope everyone is having a good christmas and will have a safe and Happy New Year!
