With one simple tweet, Kylie Jenner sent her fans into meltdown.
No, she wasn’t announcing a new beauty product. It wasn’t a new trademark sexy Kardashian/Jenner selfie.
It was about a Christmas tree.
Unfortunately for Kylie, some of her fans weren’t too impressed that she had shortened the word ‘Christmas’, using the colloquial ‘xmas’ instead.
Cue the wrath of millions of followers, who began to tweet the correct spelling to Kylie.
Others leapt to the reality star's defence, telling fans to "calm down".
"All these people going off at [Kylie] need to stop!! It's just an abbreviation, everybody knows what the holiday represents!!" one fan wrote.
Another wrote, "I can't stand you but I'm coming to your defense on this one. #Xmas is perfectly acceptable (sic)."
Um, thanks?
If Kylie's Snapchat is anything to go by, she hasn't let the Twitter haters dampen her Christmas (or should it be Kristmas?) spirit, showing off her GIANT tree for her fans.

Actually Xmas is theologically correct. The early Christians used an X to identify themselves so they could stay safe from persecution.
The Greek word for Christ starts with the Greek letter chi (basically identical to our X) and that's what the X in Xmas represents. Kylie isn't taking Christ out of anything by using the abbreviation. It should be considered perfectly acceptable, even by the most devout Christians.
