About Xmas:
The 'X' in the word Xmas stand for the greek letter 'chi', pronounced 'ch'. It points at the first letter of Christ's name. As you probably will know, the letters 'P' and 'X' often can be found on churches or timelines. The 'P' stands for the greek letter 'rho', pronounced 'r', the second letter of the name of Christ.
So there is nothing wrong for catholics to use this abbrevation, as it only refers to the original language the bible was written in.

1. You are being serious and will respect whatever i say. in this case, i'd say that i prefer "Christmas" still
2. you're doing it as a joke and don't care what i have to say. in this case, i'd say "elephants"

i suppose her battle was partly successful, because i remembered it wasn't acceptable, but have forgotten why...
