Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I always wonder why even non-jews sometimes refer to it as X-mas

Christmas.  Always. Even when people use the other languages I refer to it that way. I think it's stupid in one aspect and disrespectful in another aspect in referring to it in the other languages
