Smile Christmas and Xmas

Last minute entry here:

To a Christian, Jesus Christ- his birth, life, death and resurrection are celebrated every single day and Christmas - to me - is really just a secular celebration based on a religious event, albeit the most important event in human hiistory, the birth of Christ.

Like Nathan, I have a tree, lots of decorations and give gifts at Christmas, as well as sing carols in church on the Sunday nearest Christmas. It's all good and the season of peace to men of goodwill is always a positive thing for both Christians as well as non-Christians who can appreciate the spirit of the season. Whether one uses 'X' to write Christmas or not, the meaning behind the holiday remains the same but as a gesture of respect, I would prefer folks take that extra millisecond to write 'Christmas'. I do. If not, it's still Christmas; Greek letters, exact birthdays of Jesus and all the other minutia that clutters up the season aside.

Merry Christmas to all my Mustang Works friends.
