Its CHRISTmas time!!

Anyone that knows me well, knows that it bothers me to see "X-mas" in the place of Christmas. This is more than just a shortcut. Its another way our society has attempted to take Christ out of Christmas. It is true, however, that the Roman letter X, since the mid 16th century, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ. But it still bugs me! I'm one of the laziest people I know, and I will still take the time to write out Christ's name for a day that we celebrate his birth!
It also bothers me that all the people that don't believe in "my God", celebrate Christmas. What do they really think Christmas is all about? Where do they believe it originated?
Saying "Happy Holidays" or "winter vacation" is just plane denying Christ!! I hope I never forget to stop and ponder on the reason for the season. I also hope that my children will continue to celebrate Christ's birth on this day.
I will post some pictures after we exchange gifts. Of course, I'm working again on Christmas, so we will celebrate on Christmas eve. Until then...... Merry CHRISTmas!!
