      I apologize for offending you...I did it for expediency and out of laziness there was no malice intended... :(

Done deal.  Our Chase credit card just got tossed into the wood stove.  Thanks for the info, Zip. 

This PC Christmas crap absolutely INFURIATES me.  I stopped shopping at Wal Mart for AN ENTIRE YEAR a few years ago because their employees were told NOT to use the words "Merry Christmas" and the words "Merry Christmas" were not used on any of their advertising and store signs. 

The next Christmas season, after protests and complaints by thousands of their customers, Wal Mart learned the hard way that they had made a big mistake, so they changed their PC minds about the whole thing.  I'm glad they came to their senses.  I like Wal Mart.   ;D

Hey It's all good I Just have a thing about telling people That XMAS Is xing Christ out of Christmas which to me Personally means JESUS is the Reason for the season  :)

You beat me to it Zip. Chase can kiss my butt before I'll ever do business with them. Luckily, I live in an area where the PC crap is minimal. As far as the major department stores are concerned, I walk through them during the Christmas (holiday) season and if I don't see a prominent display of appropriate Christmas goods, I don't do business there during this time of year. Many of the department stores have gotten the message regarding their tactless renaming of this season and are now coming around.

   Personally im sick and tired of these attacks on christianity and anything christian they you turn around and read some asshole wants to put foot washers in airports so muzzies can wash their feet. Or black home grown muzzies in prison you know FairyKhan followers get to eat a very special diet during ramadan at a huge cost to taxpayers and at the expense of other convicts...screw this...its time people turned on the companies that do this crap and stop sitting silent

Actually Xmas means Christ Mass.

The Greek letter chi, which looks like the English letter x.
The term has been around for well over a thousand years, Gutenberg started using it because it made it easier to set type with the first printing press in 1436, when the term went mainstream.
It wasn't all that long ago when people wanted to return to the traditional form, "Christmas, that Xmas lost favor.
But its still acceptable, just merely lazy.
