Part 5: X-Mas

Usage Note: Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of, “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.

If I can’t get the ACLU to act like a cartoon version of themselves, I’ll have to turn to the more extreme offshoot of the ACLU — that is, the ECLU. The ECLU is kind of to the ACLU what Extreme Wrestling Federation was to the WWF, before that company bought EWF…

On the other hand, the American Cow Launchers Union is to the American Civil Liberteries Union what the World Wildlife Federation was to the other WWF before the lawsuit.

Anyway… So you are the Christ you’re the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you’re divine – change my water into wine
That’s all you need to do then I’ll know it’s all true
C’mon King of the Jews
