The Supreme Court has officially declared the word Christmas to be offensive and politically incorrect as we all now celebrate 'Holiday'. The event is popular for celebrating the birth of "Generic, nameless savior and/or prophet," as well as the glory of "Intelligent, all-powerful being." Holiday is one of the most popular celebrations in the United States today.
Christmas is also called X-mas by fans of the X-Men, who celebrate the day as "International X-Men Day". They believe that Jesus Christ was in fact a superhero. The Bible confirms this, listing such superpowers as healing, foretelling the future, heat vision, underwater breathing, flying, walking on water, super human strength and the ability to destroy evil with a wink of his eye and a thumbs up.
On a different note, while Santa is a generally feared man, in some parts of the world he is highly revered for prompting the sexual awakening of youngsters. California in the United States is among the most active of all Santa-supporting administrative areas. Many towns have changed their names in honour of the man sodomizing the prettiest girl in the village in exchange for many cheap and nasty cap-guns. Notably are the towns of Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria (a refinement on 'Santa did Monica', 'Santa Shagged Barbara"'and 'Santa got Maria Pregnant"). Many victims of Santa wind up as actors and actresses in Hollywood, California and struggle to sustain relationships as a result. It is also noteworthy the state of California also allowed pop super-star Michael Jackson to behave in a similar manner by approving the construction of Neverland Ranch.
Even with all of Santa's legal troubles, he is exempt from legal prosecution.

"Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas". It is sometimes pronounced "ɛksməs", but it, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation "krɪsməs". The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "Mass", while the "X" comes from the Greek letter "Chi", which is the first letter of the Greek word "Χριστός", translated as "Christ". There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas". The word "Christ" and its compounds, including "Christmas", have been abbreviated in English for at least the past 1,000 years, long before the modern "Xmas" was commonly used. "Christ" was often written as "XP" or "Xt"; there are references in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as far back as 1021. This X and P arose as the uppercase forms of the Greek letters χ (Ch) and ρ (R) used in ancient abbreviations for "Χριστος" (Greek for "Christ"), and are still widely seen in many Eastern Orthodox icons depicting Jesus Christ. The labarum, an amalgamation of the two Greek letters rendered as "☧", is a symbol often used to represent Christ in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian Churches. Other proper names containing the name "Christ" besides those mentioned above are sometimes abbreviated similarly, either as "X" or "Xt", both of which have been used historically, e.g., "Xtopher" or "Xopher" for "Christopher", or "Xtina" or "Xina" for the name "Christina". In the 17th and 18th centuries, "Xene" and "Exene" were common spellings for the given name Christine. The American singer Christina Aguilera has sometimes gone by the name "Xtina". Similarly, Exene Cervenka has been a noted American singer-songwriter since 1977. This usage of "X" to spell the syllable "kris" (rather than the sounds "ks") has extended to "xtal" for "crystal", and on florists' signs to "xant" for "chrysanthemum",even though these words are not etymologically related to "Christ": "crystal" comes from a Greek word meaning "ice" (and not even using the letter χ), and "chrysanthemum" comes from Greek words meaning "golden flower", while "Christ" comes from a Greek word meaning "anointed".
