You don't see this so much anymore. For years, it was Merry Christmas! Then the politically correct crowd coerced retailers to go with Merry X-Mas - you know - separation of church and estate kind of thing. Now, we have Happy Holidays so as to be all inclusive and not offend anyone - unless you are conservative Christian of course. (smile)
Years ago, Greek theologians substituted "X" for Christ in their writings - a "shorthand" way of writing Christ.
BIG LEAP HERE - In Algebra, you always solved for "X." So I have a question - what is the "X" factor that you are allowing to replace Christ this Christmas? This humorous video (one of Nathan's favorites) might help you just a bit.
It is Friday - we have a Jr. High Basketball Tournament, Driver's Ed, Play Practice, Christmas Parties, a Hockey Game with some shopping thrown in. In all that .... when am I going to find time to spend a moment with Christ? I will have to work not to allow any or all of these to become the "X" that knocks Christ out of Christmas. I will find those moments in the midst of the chaos to "Be still and know that He is God."
I don't want no linebacker after me!
