Merry Christ Mass

  • From the WIKI

Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas . It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but it, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The “-mas” part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass, while the “X” comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός which comes into English as “Christ”.

There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the “Christ” out of “Christmas”, but its use dates back to the 16th century.

Interestingly, in the 17th and 18th centuries, “Xene” and “Exene” were common spellings for the given name Christine. The American singer Christina Aguilera has sometimes gone by the name “Xtina”. Similarly, Exene Cervenka has been a noted American singer-songwriter since 1977.

MY EDIT: It appears that the proper pronunciation of XMAS is ˈ/krɪsməs/ or Christmas. Who’da thunk it?

Since it’s early enough for Dec 21

Happy Winter Solstice

PS on Sunday I’ll be chasing the CP Rail Holiday train down Thompson and Fraser Canyon (between Ashcroft and North Bend). Overnight at Hope, Monday chase the freights between Hope and Kamloops. That’s what I call a good start to the week.
