Zeta,
Re Xmas: The paragraph below came from the following website:
wilstar.com
I found other info on the website interesting as well.
"Xmas
This abbreviation for Christmas is of Greek origin. The word for Christ in Greek is Xristos. During the 16th century, Europeans began using the first initial of Christ's name, "X" in place of the word Christ in Christmas as a shorthand form of the word. Although the early Christians understood that X stood for Christ's name, later Christians who did not understand the Greek language mistook "Xmas" as a sign of disrespect."
My best wishes to all the SI biofreaks for a healthy & prosperous New Year!
