Default Christmas pet peeves
Have you got any?

It really annoys me to see Christmas written as X-mas. That gets on my nerves. Yes, I know the explanation, but it seems so lazy to me to abbreviate the word. Along the same line, it annoys me when people call Thanksgiving "Turkey Day" as if the day is all about the turkey.

I have a LOT of linguistic pet peeves. LOL
