Joy to the World

Thanks to my six readers who mailed me a fruitcake or figgy pudding. Five of the items arrived here in Seine in time for Christmas. O blessed am I! Enough to last me until at least the summer! The sender of the one item (a figgy pudding) which was late---and you know who you are---is penalized by having the homework assignment of rereading all my blogs and properly categorizing them.

Is it still true the X in XMAS is Greek for Christ?

In a sense, yes; "X" is the Greek letter, "Chi" (pronounced "Key"), which is the first two letters for "Christos" in Greek and "Christ" in English. All the rest is Greek to me.
