Just want to point out that x-mas is not a “kosher” version of the real name. X is actually the Greek letter chi, which is short for christ, meaning anointed one. So saying christmas or xmas is the same thing, just one is short-hand. Calling Yoshke anointed one is obviously against the Torah. I don’t think JC is any better than the full version, it still gives credence to the moshiach claim. Names such as Chris, Chirstina and the religion known as Christianity are of course all derivatives of the same. and a little known fact- the phrase “gee whiz” or other use of the word “gee” is derived from Yoshka’s name as well.
