I, at least, have no intention of celebrating mass. Let us liberate the season of Advent from the last vestiges of popery! But seriously, I can remember growing up being taught the evils of using the shortened "Xmas," only to discover at one point that the X is actually the first letter of "Christ" in the original language. Of course that wouldn't matter for those who believe the KJV is more accurate than any Greek manuscript...

Unfortunately, there's little you can do to get through that sort of mindset.
