I really don't understand why people use the term "Xmas"....how much longer does it take to type 5 more letters for Christmas?

Good for you. If I see something I want, I buy it...that way I know it’s exactly what I wanted.

@jannabelle1 Seriously? Xmas is perfectly acceptable if you know the meaning behind it. The internet is your friend!

Why don't you just google it, instead of being so judgmental ?

@QVCkitty1 @Love my grandkids My first reaction was the same as OP and after seeing your responses I thought I better educate myself so I looked it up. Honestly I had no idea and I'm glad you suggested looking it up but you could have been kinder in your responce to OP.

You are right, I could have, however I thought her comment was snarky and unnecessary, so I answered as nicely as the post deserved. I have no regrets. I mean really read her post !

I don't know why. Perhaps I didn't give it much thought. Did I offend you? Maybe my fingers were just too tired from all the cooking, baking, trimming, decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping gifts, etc. I feel like I owe you (or someone) and apology. Have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I get both sides and yes it was judgemental but at least you educated me today and I will no longer have the advesrse reaction to the X that I have had in the past (but silently) so thanks for that.

Enjoy. I was really good to myself. I bought a Frye dark brown bag on sale. I also purchased a Victornix Swiss Army watch on sale but had to return it. I hate when they show the picture of it and make it look different. It was stainless steel. Any way, this watch had a shiny finish which I do not care for so it did go back. I love the handbag.

@rms1954 good for you...when I was younger I would always buy me a Christmas gift. Sometimes I spent a lot and sometimes I didn't... wasn't about the price it was about getting something I really liked and I knew no one else would get it for me. One of my best gifts was a $35.00 watercolor I fell in love with.

You owe no one an apology. What you typed is perfectly fine. Forget the comment. I hope you had a merry xmas.
