|
|
Hi guys!
I'm going to be putting out one last newsletter in a couple of days. I thought it would be fun to have people make up a funny/witty home theater related songs (or poem) sung to the tune of a known Christmas song.
Sharpen your pencils and post your submissions here!
Whoever wins gets to be famous for a day as their work will be sent to over 13,000 people across the world (you will get full credit so include what name you want to use). 
Merry Christmas and the best of the holidays to everyone!
Kal

Gary, I too used to bristle at that. That is, until I learned more about it. If you read up on the subject, you'll find that most times the usage isn't as it may seem. From the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas
| Quote: | | 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 AD 1021. |
Even better, The American Heritage puts it simply (emphasis added by me):
http://www.bartleby.com/61/80/X0008000.html
| Quote: | | Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of , “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas. |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labarum
You can see how the people might substitute the English "X" for the Greek Chi-Rho symbol:
Not to say that Kal was thinking of Chi-Rho when I wrote "Xmas", but neither was he "trying to take Christ out of Christmas", I'm sure.
Now, to get to work on a Christmas/HT song....
Merry Christmas!
SC

Let's see if I can remember that one from Andrew Dice Clay from about 15 years ago
