Xmas or Christmas

Should I spell Christmas with an X?

In today's society people are really easy to offend.I'm beginning to think that when you get
offended by something, you may not know much about it! Like for instance when you're trying to joke
around with someone and they get offended by what you just said! MAYBE it's because that person
doesn't know Squat about you.

Did you know that X when used to replace the Christ in Christmas, actually means Christ?!

Lets go through how that's possible for the slow "legalistical" uneducated ones. (sorry that was mean lol)

The english letter X is actually the transliteration of the Greek letter for the same X= "Chi."
So the greek spelling for Christ is- Χριστός (Khristós) meaning "the anointed". X is the english
sort of abreviation for the actual Greek word.

So before jumping down someones throat about taking the Christ out of Christmas.. maybe we should
actually study something first! Also.. the fact that Jesus was ACTUALLY not born in december may
be something else people need to go in depth about. When the Kings got to where Jesus lay, it changes
speaking of a baby into speaking about a Child. A small clue yes, but get in depth about it and you'll
see that we celebrate Jesus' birthday WAAAY LATE haha.

And may I just say, Don't worry about others taking the Christ out of Christmas,, worry about YOU taking
the Christ out of your whole LIFE!!!

SOOO by all means...
