Pro-CHRISTmas campaigners dislike the use of Xmas in lieu of Christmas. Although X has been used for centuries as a sanctioned abbreviation for ??????? (Greek for Christ), Christian culture has a sneaking suspicion this is really a calculated method to nudge Christ out of his own holiday.

At least Oral Roberts university is still going strong, and with it the delicious irony of earnest Christian parents sending their children to a college with "oral" in its name.
