Tis the Season!
I have always wondered about the origin of the
abbreviated word Xmas. When did X refer to
the Lord? I found a series of possible answers here:

and all those explanations have merit.
Now if it was XXXmas..that would be hard to
find anyone to explain with the possible exception
of some shady bookstore on the seedy side of town.
But would explain these:
Shepherd Boy: Momma! Who are those men?
Mother: They are Magi!
Shepherd Boy: Oh yeah? Let's see them do some Magi tricks.
Most frustrated man in the world?
Santa! Comes only once a year and when he does it's down chimneys.
Most requested song at a XXXmas orgy?
Oh Come all Ye Faithful.
Around the holidays a Blonde Housewife asks her mailman in for breakfast.
Afterward she leads him upstairs for a romp in bed. As he got dressed and ready
to resume his route for the day, the Blonde opened her purse and handed him a
1 dollar bill. The mailman scratched his head, held up the bill and said "I understand
about the breakfast. That was great. And the romp upstairs. That was really great.
But I don't understand about this?"
The Blonde wife replied, "Well...My husband and I were in bed last night trying to figure
out what to give you for XXXmas. He said 'Screw him! Give him a dollar!'
The breakfast was MY idea!"
