Published on 12/25/2023
Some people seem to get pretty angry when people use alternative names to say Merry Christmas. Some even get riled up if others talk about watching what they consider to be non traditional Christmas movies like Die Hard and call them Christmas movies. Which of these movies have you seen that might be considered non traditional?

From Wikipedia. "There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secularizing tendency to de-emphasize the religious tradition from Christmas, by "taking the Christ out of Christmas"; nevertheless, the term's usage dates back to the 16th century, and corresponds to Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Church of England, and Episcopalian liturgical use of various forms of chi-rho monogram. In English, "X" was first used as a scribal abbreviation for "Christ" in 1100; "X'temmas" is attested in 1551, and "Xmas" in 1721" Do you get offended by the use of Xmas? Do you get offended by people calling these movies Christmas movies? I get offended by the use of Xmas.
