Subject: Terry, I wish you could have heard Paul Harvey today...



I used to think the same as you about Xmas vs Christmas. The gist of his message was that due to a high illiteracy rate of the population, religious persecution, combined with poor/unavailable writing instruments available in the middle ages the Xmas was easier and safer for persecuted Christians to write.

Sorry I don't have a better explanation, but it changed my view of Xmas vs Christmas.
