Crimbo

I agree

I prefer Christmas

Yes

Going on the game ?

Nearly as bad as when people actually say 'Xmas'.
I once had a boyfriend who said Xmas - he didn't last long.

Quite like Crimbo myself but each to their own.

No I don't Crimbo or Xmas.

It has to be Father Christmas not Santa for me too.

That explains it it's always been Santa to my kids.

Is it a Liverpool thing?John Lennon used to say it, or was that
Chrimble?

Every time I hear it, I shout "Christmas" , at the television.
I have a mind to complain to Currys/PC world, but I don't think it would do any good.

Father Christmas ( but that may be a Northern thing also.)

I think it's a Scouse thing too, not that I am.

It makes me cringe, too.

Father Christmas here, too. Anyone calling himself Santa will not get the tot of brandy and mince pie.

We use both Santa and Father Christmas.
It was always Santa when I was a child. (Scotland)

Xmas is also acceptable.
X = Christ + mas =Christmas

Xopher = Christopher

Grrr.

Nothing wrong with 'Xmas' in a general sort of way. It's long been accepted. But I would never put Happy Xmas on a Christmas card.

(the grrr was about 'Crimbo'.

I hate the word.

My mother strongly objected to Santa Claus, we said Father Christmas, but I’ve had to accept the American version as it’s used by everybody younger than me. I don’t mind Crimbo, it’s shorter and funny.

Like and use Chrimbo. Reminds me of happy times in the Mob. Really dislike Xmas.

Used to dislike Xmas, but then I found out that it comes from the Greek word for Christ. X is the Greek symbol for the first two letters of Christ. I definitely hate Crimbo, though.
