During Christmas, everyone is happy; giving, receiving, joy etc.etc. But there are a few things that got wrong. One of them, is the usage of the word "Xmas". Why do people write the "X" instead of "Christ"? I find this a bit disturbing, especially when some Christians write like that. Maybe you don't know, so I will tell you. The "X" in Xmas is taking up the place of where "Christ" should be. Alright, maybe this doesn't seem to be a good explanation, since it could be because it is a short form. But why use "X" instead of "C" or "+"? "X" seems to be a cross to represent "no", "wrong" or "don't want". So why replace Christ with a negative letter/symbol? Hmm? Still not satisfied?
Well, how about this... Maybe "X" means "cross", representing the Christ because of the cross he got hung on. but why use "X"? Why not "+"? "+" looks better than "X".
So, think about it. If you want to make Christmas shorter, use a good short-form like: +mas or Cmas. But it's best to use Christmas because without Christ there would be no Christmas and man would have no hope.
p/s: if you have better suggestions, tell me.
