X-mas Musica Stewart75: Don't take the "Christ" out of Christmas, Uncle Jack.... ... not good to play with words at Kiddie daycare... The word is Christmas... kkkk....?  lavendar_star: please if jesus did exist he wasn't born on 25 of december, Christmas is originally taken from the pagan winter festival and the date from pagan gods before that. Comrade_: @Stewart75 I understand that you're mentally ignorant of a few things in life but I'll excuse you this time since it's a common misunderstanding. "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ"...Take a moment to read the rest at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas so you'd not make a fool of yourself twice. @Lavendar those are cool ones too, I like the older classics. (Edited by Comrade_) Stewart75: Wikipedia... yep... great source dummy... .... bottom line, any Catholic/Christian (such as my good self)... takes offence when dumb phucks replace the word 'Christ'... with an 'X'... Don't you get it dummy...?... I guess not... Comrade_: Wikipedia didn't make it up, it's understood by anyone (cept the few idiots) I choose Wikipedia as an easy source but since you want to go down that road with me and troll a holidays thread then we will . http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/christianholidays/f/Xmas.htm "Chi is written as an 'X' and Rho is written as a 'P', but they are the first two letters of the Greek word Christ 'savior'. 'XP' is sometimes used to stand for Christ. Sometimes X is used alone. This is the case in the Chi (X) abbreviation for Christ in Xmas. Thus, Xmas is not directly a way of secularizing the holiday, but since 'X' is not Chi in English, we read the word as X-mas and see no connection with Christ." I'm teaching you something here but you're too much of a self-righteous dumbass to see it. Don't get your panties in a twist princesa, just do some research for yourself before you shine your holiness on the heathens k ok deep breaths. slowwly and enjoy the music. Stewart75: Geezzzz... how dumb is this guy... ... I'm a Catholic/Christian Uncle Jack, okay... WE TAKE OFFENCE when the word 'Christ'... is replaced with an 'X'... Comrade_: Then I suggest you take this up with Santa? Perhaps he can put it simpler for you to understand...maybe let the elves do an illustration of how the 'X' originated, but as for me I don't like repeating myself.  Sash Ria: I'm also a catholic,was in mass this mornin actually...And i can say WE catholic/christian's don't take offence! (Post deleted by staff ) Comrade_: Don't be bitter Stewart75. You're begining to embarass yourself in public shush now and listen to the music. btw I grew up with strong Catholics grandparents. I'm sure you're alone in your self-righteous trolling thoughts. In Trinidad we have parang music from the Spanish descendants. (Edited by Comrade_) (Post deleted by staff ) Comrade_: Nothing like a self-righteous idiot trolling in a holidays thread..I'm sure you make 'Christ' proud..must be cheering you on right now. A Brazilian one: I was here: "O Tannenbaum" is a song of German origin although no one really knows who wrote the melody. The first recording of lyrics to the tune reach back to 1550 although the best known version of the song is credited to Leipzig composer Ernst Anschutz in 1824. A "tannenbaum" is a fir tree (German: die tanne), and, of course, the song has been translated into English with the title "O Christmas Tree". It has been said the song was brought to England during the Victorian period by Prince Albert. Nat sings it here in German.  Rabbit 88: at least I see that you all have it right as to Catholics being Christians........there's one person going around here claiming otherwise. with that, I give you................. Rabbit 88: hey, what's wrong with the grandma song? It's one of the most popular and all time favorite songs pertaining to Christmas. ~LoisLane~: Anyway back on track here...... When I was young me and my grandfather were watching this (live at the time) and when she was finished singing....Gramps stood up and clapped....I still get tears watching it and hearing her Beautiful Voice.....yrs later she improved this song (if thats possible) on her Christmas Album....shes always been one of my Favs....... Yes that is actually Rex Smith in the beginning haha... | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
