No, Joe, he used a single X. I have never seen Mark write "xxmas." Rather, he has consistently written "xmass" (two S's) to emphasize what he considers the popish trappings of the holiday. The X is not mere slang. As I pointed out, it is the first letter in Christ's name in Greek, xpristos, just like the ancient symble XP also stood for Christ. Anyone who does use it with the intent of taking the Lord's name out is only fooling himself. It's not the same as "the man upstairs," and it is not comparable either to "Malcolm X" or "XXX."

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
