"IT'S 'CHRISTMAS', NOT 'XMAS'


"Folks, we are so good with abbreviations that we are fast
replacing the Webster Dictionary in our own contexts.
I know we love shortcuts. But we must realize that there are
times when we have to go round about the Hill. What is X-ed
is usually used to negate a fact or something we disagree
with, or may be we have deleted.
Christmas is of full ranking amongst festivals and must be
acknowledged appropriately.
There is 'Christ' in the 'mas'. He is the reason for the season.
I truly don't know who the hell 'X' is. Thus, it's 'Christmas'
and not 'Xmas'. An error we have observed from I dunno
when.
O! How I wish that everyday of my life will be a celebration
like unto a Christmas.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas season."
