Searching for my people, I guess.

My partner hates it when I say that Die Hard is my favourite X-mas movie. Or, that I only want socks, underwear, and egg nog. She’s lactose intolerant. Maybe I’m just X-mas intolerant.

Anyway, have at ye scallywags! Vent your frustrations! Build me an anti-X-mas list! I’m already celebrating New Year’s over here.

    It’s been spelled like that for centuries. It comes from the Greek letter Chi, the first letter of the word Christós. The first English document (that we know of) using it is from around 1100 CE.

            No, I was checking whether you thought it was the ✝️-ians who were annoyed. Like, who the “their” was in your question:

            Do you feel like that lessens [✝️-ians] annoyance about it? (I assume the ✝️-ians are annoyed be virtually everything non-traditional at this point)

            Or

            Do you feel like that lessens [the Greeks] annoyance about it? (I didn’t know the Greeks would be annoyed about it. But, hey, you live you learn.)

            Or

            Do you feel like that lessens [the English] annoyance about it? (I assume the English would be annoyed because of the aforementioned laziness in spelling)

              “They” was just the person who originally said they were annoyed by it, NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone
