The nun in third grade, Sr. Elizabeth, grade was the first person I ever heard rail against "XMass". That was 1948 and she was pissed.
She was also the first that explained Islam, Muslims and conversion by the sword. She pointed out (in 1948) that that sword on the Saudi flag represents the sword of Muhammad and a reminder of the continuing expansion of Islam by whatever means necessary.
I was eight and remember those lectures vividly, but I was never in Cambodia.

I spent 12 years in Catholic school, and we were forbidden to write Xmas on anything. Those Nuns were tough and sometimes mean, but, I would go back and go thru it again. (altho, I hated school with a passion)
