To appease the “Keep CHRIST In CHRISTmas!” people, and to be fair to all, I’ve compiled a handy list of other holidays in their shortened X form. (Never minding the fact that the X in Xmas is a shortened, easily-writable form of “Christ”, derived from the historical usage of the Greek letters chi and rho to signify the full name of Jesus Christ in both literature and art.)
- NewX – January 1
- Xhog – February 2
- Xtine’s – February 14
- WashX Bday – third Monday in February
- St. X – March 17
- Xster – 1st sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox
- Xfools – April 1
- CincoX – May 5
- MX Day – second Sunday in May
- MemorX – Last Monday in May
- FX Day – third Sunday in June
- 4X – July 4
- LaborX – first Monday in September
- Xbus Day – second Monday in October
- Xween – October 31
- VeX Day – November 11
- Xgiving – fourth Thursday in November
- XFriday – first Friday after the fourth Thursday in November
- Xmas – December 25
- KwaX – December 26 through January 1
- NewX Eve – December 31
Hope this makes things fair for everyone.
Thank You! I think this makes it fair for everyone. My birthday is 4X. Maybe X-dependence Day would be better.
Or perhaps even shorten it further: Fourth of July could be called IndeX.
