Oh gosh, I hadn't even thought about it. I almost never get anything anyway.. and it doesn't bother me.. I buy presents, of course but really don't ask for, or expect anything back. I wouldn't have a clue what to even ask for!
Is there a petition or something we can sign for that wish? hahahah I hate x-mas music. It always starts before Thanksgiving, when its still warm outside. I dont get it. THanks ELement 99. ;))
Christians stole various items from other cultures. Saturnalia was a Roman mid-winter solstice festival dedicated to Saturn. Christians stole it and made it Xmas. The Bible indicates that Jesus was born during warm weather not in mid-winter.
I'm aware of that, but Xmas is wrong no matter what ot celebrates. Write it correctly or call it something else, spelling it with an X is nothing more than profound laziness.
It is simply using an initial similar to INRI. X is for chi the Greek letter that begins Christ or Xrist in Greek. Shar to the Rona calls me SZ, and I told her to do that. Simpatichnaya Zhopa is one of my names in Russia, and it is long as is Irina Shaykhilslamova who calls herself Irina Shayk. Anna Vyalitsyna calls herself Anne V.
Chi resembles an X. It is NOT identical (I read ancient and Koine Greek), the Greek, Latin and Cryllic alphabets are seperate from one another. Additionally you will only see INRI on Roman Catholic crucifixes - the inscription should either inlude the Greek and Hebrew equivalents (the Bible explicitly states that all three languages were used) or be omitted altogether. Having the inscription in Latin only would have been pointless, the majority of those in the crowd who were literate would have been more likely to understand Greek which was the trade language of the day. Okay,
