Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, which in English is "Christ".
The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass,
There is a common belief 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.
Style guides and etiquette
"Xmas" is deprecated by some modern style guides, including those at the New York Times,The Times, The Guardian, and the BBC.Millicent Fenwick, in the 1948 Vogue's Book of Etiquette, states that "'Xmas' should never be used" in greeting cards.The Cambridge Guide to Australian English Usage states that the spelling should be considered informal and restricted to contexts where concision is valued, such as headlines and greeting cards.The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, while acknowledging the ancient and respectful use of "Xmas" in the past, states that the spelling should never be used in formal writing.
In December 2001, Ethan Miller loses both his parents in a car accident. To cheer him up, his best friends, Isaac Greenberg and Chris Roberts, start a tradition to spend every Christmas Eve together bar hopping around New York City. In 2008, the friends meet some girls who came from a party called the Nutcracker Ball, describing it as a wild and crazy party to which guests must acquire special invitations. Over the following years, the trio unsuccessfully search for the party's location, yet it remains elusive. In 2015, the three friends decide to end the tradition. However, Chris, now a famous football player, and Isaac, a soon-to-be father with his wife Betsy, privately worry that Ethan, who is a struggling musician working at a hotel and has also recently broken up with his girlfriend Diana, might not be ready for the tradition to end as it remains an important priority to him.
The Decima Flottiglia MAS (Decima FlottigliaMezzi d'Assalto, also known as La Decima or Xª MAS) (Italian for "10th Assault Vehicle Flotilla") was an Italiancommandofrogman unit of the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) created during the Fascist regime.
Decima MAS was active during the Battle of the Mediterranean and took part in a number of daring raids on Allied shipping.
These operations involved surface speedboats (such as the Sinking of HMS York), manned torpedoes (the Raid on Alexandria) and GammaFrogmen (against Gibraltar).
During the campaign Decima MAS took part in more than a dozen operations which sank or damaged five warships (totalling 72,000 Gross Register Tonnage) and 20 merchant ships (totalling 130,000 GRT).
In 1943, after the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was ousted, Italy left the Tripartite Pact and joined the Allies. Some of the Xª MAS men who were stationed in German-occupied northern Italy enlisted to fight for Mussolini's newly formed Italian Social Republic (Repubblica Sociale Italiana or RSI) and retained the unit title, but were primarily employed as an anti-partisan force operating on land. Other Xª MAS men in southern Italy or other Allied-occupied areas joined the Italian Co-Belligerent Navy as part of the Mariassalto (Naval Assault) unit.
Happy Holidays from the crew of 1047, myself (Josh), Steve, Joe and Colby.
Today we're on a mad scavenger hunt for food for our first West Virginia Christmas Dinner. It's a rambling stroll all over the map, looking for pepper, thistle, and bear meat, as we chat about the day and our holiday plans.
