    American chuds are like "stop making taking the Christ out of Christmas" while also pinning the entire year's economy on their fourth quarter earnings and using it as a chance to make money the same way as the moneylenders whose tables got overturned by Jesus when he found them selling shit in god's temple.

    I remember one time a coworker was ranting to me about "X Mas" being used as an abbreviation and I had to stop her mid sentence and explain that yeah, the modern usage seems secular and cheap, but using X as an abbreviation of 'Xristos' goes back to the days when Christians were being oppressed by the Roman empire.
