Oh, and I doubt anything he made could be around today. Wood rots, you know.

Share with me; Whats is wrong about Xmas being used as a short form of Christmas? DO you have a different interpretetion other than what you know it means? Does that change your mind about what you believe about the season, if so, how? It bothers you to think of the xmas, and not that according to the Greek calender, the Philosopher called Jesus was not born in December, but rather in October, and therefore we ought to research about what we are missing? Am I overthinking it? talk to me.... It is interesting how we are so compelled to beliefs and holding fast to the neat-picks of what is attached to what we believe. Share with me;
