Crimbo

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.

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

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.

I hate the word.

(the grrr was about 'Crimbo'.

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.

Grrr.

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

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

It makes me cringe, too.

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

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

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.

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

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

No I don't Crimbo or Xmas.

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

Quite like Crimbo myself but each to their own.

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

Going on the game ?

Yes

I prefer Christmas

I agree
