Christ in Christmas

Its Christmas day, and I am at work. We celebrated early this morning knowing that I would have to be at work by three. Fortunately? Unfortunately? I'm still adding up the pro and cons of this working on Christmas thing. Pro: I get to leave just when the kids are getting really annoying with those stupid new Nerf guns -- Con: I had to leave before figuring out my Wii fitness age. (my mom is 72 and my dad is 68 I am hoping to come in at a low 50) So here I am, and there's nothing to do, so I'm reading blogs.
I keep seeing all these ads and mentions of keeping Christ in Christmas, and I have to tell you what I think. Well I've been seeing these for a few weeks now, and I have to tell you, the first one I saw on a little church sign, made me think. Keep Christ in Christmas, because without Christ all you have is mas and that's no fun at all.
Every time I see that now, that's what I think, but then I begin to wonder . . . What is mas?
The obvious choice seems to be mass. Christmas mass, which is probably repetitive. But Its not spelled mass, its spelled mas. So here is a list of things Christmas might be without Christ.

Mas:
mas - slang for massive
mas - abbreviation for masculine
mas - Modula-2 Algebra System
mas - mobile atmospheric spectrometer
mas - Muslim American Society
mas - Country house or farm in the south of France, usually made of stone.
mas - Monetary Authority of Singapore, mas is Singapore's central bank.
mas - The Musicians' Answering Service was established in 1976, since then the diary service has built its reputation within the classical music business for professionalism and reliability.

Now I'm sure you all found that helpful and informative, and I just want to say, that unless your a massive male mathematician looking to invest or convert, please keep Christ in Christmas.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!
