X-mas

Oh hey, I have to post today. 
Post.
Here's my gripe for the day.
Ignorance.

All you have to do is look it up on Wikipedia, you don't have to go to a university (which is where I learned this), you can find it very easily online...So...do your homework before you bitch about it.

"Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas". It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but it, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation, /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "mass", while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".
 Get your facts straight.

Day 3 and only kinda goin' strong

EPIC FAIL! I skipped day two. Well, I was in a car for 13 hours while taking my brother and niece back down to NC and then driving back. I'm glad I have Brandon to drive with me.
We had some Andy's, and I forgot how good a chicken cheesesteak is. With pickles, of-course.
Tomorrow I go back to work. And deal with a lady who freaked out over the $1.50 we charged her for delivery on Wednesday and is coming back in tomorrow to "dispute it." Don't people have better things to do with their time?
Like put up their Christmas tree! Like Brandon and I did today. One of my favorite things in the whole world is ornaments. Love 'em.
Now it's bedtime.
