There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secularizing tendency to de-emphasize the religious tradition of 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, Lutheran and Anglican 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.

Like the UK being born in that country (OZ) does not make you from that country, he is Indian.

So what are you then, Danish, German, French, Italian? ... as most 'Englush' would be descended from these....

Would have been easier for you to have just admitted to another of your frequent ****-ups ... <laugh>
