Well, I wouldn’t have put the onus on any one particular ethnicity, but our culture does have a bad habit of putting the X in Xmas, burying all trace of its Christian underpinnings. We seem to prefer sappy sentimentality and materialism to the message and good news of Christ. And that’s sad.
While we’re on the topic, have you ever considered the nasty meaning of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”? How the path to avoid ridicule for one’s differences is to suck up and be sucked-up to? Not the message I wanted my kids to take to heart.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is perfect Government-School propaganda. CONFORMITY is the highest value. TEAR DOWN anyone who is “different.” And the way to get ahead is to be picked for some honor by an AUTHORITY FIGURE.
Actually, it's just the opposite. That thing that looks like an "X" is the Greek letter "Chi," the first letter in "Christ." The "Chi Rho" is an ancient Christian symbol, still found in many churches, and is the "CHR" in "CHRISTOS."
Now, if we can just get more churches to put the "Mass" back into "Christ Mass". . . .
