Ma and Pa got me a lifetime combo license! Whoo Hoo!
Congrats on the lifetime! Best gift one can receive!
And Xmas is not taking Christ out of Christmas. The abbreviation has been around for centuries, commonly used by Christian scholars.
The greek letter 'x' is the first letter for the greek word for Christ, Xristos.
Xmas therefore means "Christ's Mass" The "X" in "Xmas" represents the Greek letter chi, which is the initial letter of Christos - the Greek for Christ.
Christians came to use X as a symbol, and it crept into the English language as a shorthand. From there it became more generally used.
