Bad Dave, blaming someone so innocent of something they didn't even do that even sounds bad to begin first off. For shame as hell Dave-grave!

You are a prime example of a good kid who has a good heart and appreciates his parents, raised up by parents who did their best for you!! I have a lot of respect for you Joe, remember this, In life it's not always how much money you make!, it's how you spend it that counts too!!! And in your case, this will be a memorable one for life!!!

well he forgot the most important thing!! It's christmas, not xmas! I feel sorry for him

Actually, Xmas is popularly associated with a trend towards materialism, and sometimes the target of people who decry the emergence of general “holiday” observance instead of particular cultural and religious ritual. But the history of the word “Xmas” is actually more respectable — and fascinating — than you might suspect. First of all, the abbreviation predates by centuries its use in gaudy advertisements. It was first used in the mid 1500s. X is the Greek letter “chi,” the initial letter in the word Χριστός. And here’s the kicker: Χριστός means “Christ.” X has been an acceptable representation of the word “Christ” for hundreds of years. This device is known as a Christogram. The mas in Xmas is the Old English word for “mass.” (The thought-provoking etymology of “mass” can be found here.) In the same vein, the dignified terms Xpian and Xtian have been used in place of the word “Christian.”
