Thank you for the explanation, I didn't think my post would cause such a stir.The "X" in "Xmas" Doesn't Take the "Christ" Out of "Christmas"
Myth: “Xmas” is a non-religious name / spelling for “Christmas”.
It turns out, “Xmas” is not a non-religious version of “Christmas”. The “X” is actually indicating the Greek letter “Chi”, which is short for the Greek, meaning “Christ”. So “Xmas” and “Christmas” are equivalent in every way except their lettering.
In fact, although writing guides such as those issued by the New York Times; the BBC; The Christian Writer’s Manual of Style; and Oxford Press discourage the use of Xmas in formal writing, at one time, it was a very popular practice, particularly with religious scribes, who are thought to have started the whole “Xmas” thing in the first place. Indeed, the practice of using the symbol “X” in place of Christ’s name has been going on amongst religious scholars for at least 1000 years.
Eventually, this shorthand trick spread to non-religious writings where nearly everywhere “Christ” appeared in a word, the Greek Chi would replace that part of the word. For example, in the 17th and 18th centuries, there are numerous non-religious documents containing instances of “Xine”, which was a common spelling for someone whose name was Christine.
Has anyone vaped any unusual flavoured juice?.
I was reading an article on unusual flavours and it had peppered jerky, garlic bread, dill pickle, blue cheese and ketchup
Oh my gosh, there is no way would I contemplate trying them
No way I would try those either! Give me my sweet vapes any day!
But I get there's lots of people with different tastes.
All I know is that at Christmas I don't get anything but it's OK because why I enjoy seeing the smiles on my family faces when they open there presents early in the morning and then I'm off to work

Bella... thank you for being our flavor guinea pig
Elizabeth... totally agree plus it is much easier for the anti smoking zealots to campaign against smoking than vaping. Yes, all products used for vaping can be had as something else. Even the items used in making juice... PG and VG are used in skin care, nicotine is used in gardening as pest control. People are creative and they will find a way but doubt it will be as easy as it is now.
and... Good morning everyone. My coffee is ready so will be back in a bit
