Bible Question: when we spell christmas with an x, (xmas)does that take christ out of christmas? |
Bible Answer: Greetings jrose3, I agree with Shelly - Jesus is the reason for the season but some of the world does not believe in Christ and for one reason or another they want to ignore the "Christ" part of the season. Wherever you see a sign that has an "x" on it it means that you can't do it. For example an "x" on a u-turn sign means that no u-turn is allowed. It is no different when you put the "x" in place of Christ in Christmas. However since there are many, many abreviations I am sure that people just think that it is an abbrieviation or a shorter way of writing Christmas. I don't believe that many people realize that that is exactly what "xmas" means. prayon |
