The inscription I wrote on the Christmas fruit cake I made
for my sister in law yesterday was Merry X-Mas. After I had piped on it, I realized
that I ought to have written Christmas because, come on, there is no Christmas without Christ.
However, due to limited space on the cake and the need to make the fonts equal I
decided to use xmas. I seriously contemplated removing it and writing Christmas
after I was done, but that would have made the cake rough, so I just left it. Thank
God for His grace because the great accuser of the brethren, the devil, started
manipulating my mind afterwards and
giving me guilt trips ,for writing Xmas; as though I had denied Christ .I
quickly rebuked him and moved on.
Funny enough at mass today, to reiterate my realization that
the word xmas is not a good depiction of the reason for this season, the priest
gave several analogies of the two words: Christmas and Xmas
An X sign depicts a wrong answer, danger
and is even an unknown mathematical variable. What is it with humans and the
need to remove Christ from our lives?
Wikipedia says xmas isn’t a secular removal of Christ from Christmas,
but the first letter of the Greek word Chi,which is the first letter of the Greek
word Χριστός, which in English is "Christ".
Bottom-line, Christmas is made possible because of Christ
Jesus. We should enjoy the celebrations
having at the back of our minds that we are commemorating the birth of Jesus
who was born just to die for us.
It's Christmas day, so make sure you enjoy yourself to the
fullest, but remember that, whatever you
do, do it all for the glory of God. 1Corinthians10:31
