A belated Merry Christmas to everyone.
I had a nice dinner with family and enjoy my free days until next year.
I wish all a happy new year and that the next year will be better than this year.

something i could really enjoy again, i.e. eating really freely, even if my belly feels 10 kilos heavier 😂

Edit: Maybe we get some new members who want to try chastity as new years resolution

Merry X-mas and happy new year.

Christine Why do people actually say X-mas?

X has been used as a scholarly abbreviation for Christ since antiquity. The Roman alphabet X derives from the Greek letter Chi, which was the first letter in "Christos," meaning "anointed."

I once tried to explain that to an American woman who was claiming that "Xmas" was an attempt by "certain people to remove Christ from Christmas." Her response to my etymology was that we shouldn't use Greek words for Jesus because "the Bible was written in English."

Deadass. I had to walk away to keep from laughing.

WriterAlexis I mean, only the part about Jesus was originally written in Greek. The other stuff was originally Hebrew. Unfortunately, it is the greek parts where Χριστ appears most of the time.

I actually also had this assumption. Interrestimg to learn it's actually the opposite.

Actually only parts of the New Testament were originally in Greek. The largest part was originally written in Aramaeic, which was at the time of Jesus the language of the common people in that region. Only those with high education were able to speak Greek (even fewer to read and write).

You would be astounded to learn that many Americans (meaning U.S.) are not aware there is a world outside their borders (maybe just Canada / Mexico). But I bet when you randomly pick 100 people from the U.S., not even half of those could correctly point out Germany, France, India or Japan on a world map.
