Should it be called christmas or x-mas?

We claim to celebrate Christmas then why do we replace christ with an x, thus Christmas becomes xmas. I could remember that the former colour of Christmas was green before it was unceremoniously changed to red following a coca cola advert in old times. Green signifies abundance and hope but red signifies evil and danger.

I hear people greeting family and friends 'merry xmas' what about the Christ for which is the main purpose of our celebration.

Greeting cards and phones have made it possible for people to remove christ from the mass. Most handsets allow 160 letters per sms. So is it too much to give six letters out of 160 to honour Christ?. On television, during christmas many channels flash merry xmas on the screen instead of merry Christmas. I wonder what they are trying to save. Time or space?.

Why do people replace Christ with an x?

Many people would confess that they do not know why, others might say that because it is fashionable. Whatever the reason.,those who replace Christ with an x probably do not know it's the devil's trick to remove christ from Christmas. By removing Christ, the reason for the season is removed. No wonder many people forget what Christmas is all about and celebrate it with all manner of merry making like eating, drinking, clubbing, stealing, vanity, fornicating, etc without Christ!

X represents:

1. The roman figure 10. Is Christ number 10 in your life?

2. It is an indication of error in testing. Your school teachers use red ink to indicate 'x' on a wrong answer. Is Christ a wrong answer in your life?

3. X is used as in 'x-rated' film. Meaning that it is not good for children viewing. Is Christ bad for your children?

4. X is an unknown object or quantity in mathematics. Is Christ an unknown God to you?

5. It is one of the last letters in the alphabet. Should Christ come last to you?

Please let us all give this a rethink as this new year fades away for yet another Christmas.
