I remember growing up in our home it was always Christmas. So one day I saw that someone had taken Christ out and put in an x. I was confused so I went and ask my mom what does that mean why did someone use an x instead of Christ. She told me that they had taken Christ out of Christmas. Well that has stayed with me thorough out the years and have found it really bothers me to see Christmas spelled that way. Is it because people are in a hurry and don't take time to write Christmas.
And Happy Holiday well that dosen't work fo me either, it is Merry Christmas and if you tell me Happy Holiday I am going to say back Merry Christmas. And I have a Christmas Tree not a holiday tree. How sad that we have became a nation that feels like that if you tell someone Merry Christmas you might offend them. I will say Merry Christmas till the day I die and you will NEVER see me take Christ out of Christmas
after all He is the reason for the season
We are thinking the same today!
