I ♥ Wikipedia

No Joke, Wikipedia has made me so much more full of the smarts:)

Todays topic : Christmas:) I know there is a bunch of beef with people writing "xmas" so I found this and...well...here you go:)

"The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038.[8] "Cristes" is from Greek Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa (the holy mass). In Greek, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ, and it, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ since the mid-16th century.[15] Hence, Xmas is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Christmas."

The End.
