KimCanRun Dec 2018 8:59am, 23 Dec 2018 3,569 posts	Quote Pin KimCanRun [same here. Best bit of advice I got was to buy proper handkerchiefs. Much better than multiple paper tissues that disintegrate or end up in washing machine!]

ChrisHB Dec 2018 11:21am, 23 Dec 2018 17,571 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB I smile at "Xmas" because (1) because in algebra x represents the unknown which is quite a good way to approach God, and (2) because a student of theology might write the Greek letter chi (X) for Christ, thus Xian for Christian and Xmas for Christmas. It's still beyond the pale, though.
