I SAID “XMAS”!

December 13, 2011

Long time friend, Michael Jones, who’s a minister near Detroit, Michigan, shares my frustrations with the common misconceptions about taking Christ out of Christmas as well as the greater part of American society.

However, THIS TIME, IT’S THE OPPOSITE!

Here’s what he said:

I say this every year. “X” in Xmas is not the English letter X, it is “chi,” the first letter in the Greek word “Christos” which means “Christ.” Since X is an abbreviation for the word “Christ” (and has been for two millennia), “Xmas” means “Christmas.” It is not a 21st century attempt to remove Christ from Christmas. Now please, can we all just let it go.
