And please all-—spell it Christmas rather than XMas.
We don’t say or wish each other Happy Birthday X. Perhaps the X is a symbol for Christ but the word Christmas is 9 letters-—just spell it out for crying out loud.
The term Xmas has hallowed scholarly origins, far before modern capitalism as we know it turned the holiday season into a worldly extravaganza. X looks like the Greek chi which begins the word having the modern English transliteration “Christos” that means messiah or anointed one.
And I say shoot yeah! It’s Messiahmas! If there was any valid reason to celebrate like mad this is it, just remember what the celebration is about. We don’t ever want to fail to let God into His birthday party.
