I've always preferred the term Рождество in opposed to Xmas, it looks better when it's written in cards или a part of Рождество decorations, and what's an Xmas anyway? I know that it's some type of abbreviation for the word Рождество but it doesn't look right and it sounds worse if Ты try saying it, Рождество has become so commercialized over the years it seems as though many of us have Остаться в живых our Рождество cheer and the meaning of Рождество isn't what it used to be, however this is my first Рождество on Fanpop and it's great to have a spot dedicated to this festive season, I am the youngest of eight and I try to keep in touch with my family as much as possible and even еще so throughout the happy holidays, even though they live all over the place and some even interstate, family and Друзья are very valuable and important to me, so I try to keep in touch with them as often as possible and enjoy Рождество to the fullest extent, I still haven't worked out where the Xmas came from, but I'd like to wish everyone on Fanpop a Merry Christmas, no matter what Ты are doing and always have fun on Fanpop.
