Take that train of thought to its logical conclusion, and just put up a Christmas tree fathead.

X has often been used to represent Christ's cross, so even if someone is INTENDING to remove Christ from Christmas, they're not succeeding.

But in general I just think it's convenient shorthand, not intentional.

What is Xmas?
I like the shortening of the word, but still capitalizing it.  Interesting.

I'm sure the christian religion will always be pissed about their indoctrinating children being usurped by a fictional fat man that just gives presents away.

Don't pout.

Up the ante.  Win the contest.  Fight for those young minds (and souls, I'm sure you'd add)!  If you're down 17-0 at the half, make a comeback!  Go to 8 OTs!
