Q)The Great X is a holiday figure that seems to exist only in the imagination of Linus van Pelt.Every year,Linus sits in a X patch on

Halloween night waiting for the Great X to appear.Each year the GreatX invariably fails to appear, and a humiliated but undefeated Linus

stubbornly vows to wait for him again the following Halloween.According to Linus,on Halloween night, the Great X rises

out of a pumpkin patch he deems the most "sincere", then flies through the air delivering toys to all the good little children in the world. Linus

further believes that the Great X is very sensitive and easilyoffended and, as such, would choose to bypass anyone who doubts or

denies his existence. Therefore, in writing to the Great X, whiletrying to convince him that your X patch is sincere, you are not to

ask for anything specific, but wait for and accept whatever hebrings.ID X.

Q)The word X did not exist in the wine lexicon until 1977 when ShirleyCopperman coined it for her new bring-your-own-wine restaurant she

and her husband dubbed "X", located on the upper West Side of Manhattan. A reviewer in a local paper, The Westsider, wrote about the debut: "If the name suggests a rare disease you wouldn't want to catch, a sign in the window informs you that you may already have it. 'X', it

says, 'is an affliction of the senses characterized by intense cravings for good food and service and vintage Y served in a tasteful, comfortablesetting at reasonable prices.'"The reviewer from the Village Voice

wrote in 1977: "X. No, not a social disease. It's the sensualorientation towards the pleasures of fine food and Y, and the name of

a spiffy new bistro for elegant gourmandizing....'".ID X,Y.
