May l call the attention of my friends, colleagues and followers on a trend that l find to be an error in this generation. This is a seasonal error that comes at the end of the year. As we get into the season of Christmas, the regular greetings in the air is ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS”. I have observed that many in writing or even speaking out this seasonal greeting now say, “HAPPY XMAS”.
X is the 24th letter of the alphabet table representing a consonant sound. It is used to represent a vote, a kiss or represent a signature of someone who cannot write. Until 1990, it was used in America to indicate movies that cannot be shown publicly to people under 17yrs.
X represents the figure 10 in roman numerals as well as indicate something that is incorrect. It is also used to indicate somebody who is unknown or unspecified.
In the U.S, X can mean “crossed-out” indicating that a matter is removed or ended. In mathematics, X is used to indication multiplication or name for independent or unknown variable. X is commonly used as a generic mark (selecting an item on a form, indicating a location on a map, etc.).
Is it right to substitute CHRIST with X?
Have you ever thought about this? Can someone tell me how Christ can be related to X and then can be inter-switched. Do you not think that this is an error we commit in our normal ways to find shortcuts to things? This is definitely a wrong shortcut.
The CHRIST of Christmas is not the one in xmas.
In celebrating this season, the message is about CHRIST and lets take all the time to fully express Him and blessings of His birth. Please, share this thought with those around you. Copy and paste on your pages. Let us correct this error before we pass it on to our children, let they grow to know about xmas rather than CHRISTMAS.
MAY THIS SEASON BRING PEACE AND JOY TO YOUR LIFE AND HOME.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
