When the early Christians were being slaughtered by the Romans for practicing their "new" religion, the early Christians used the character X from Greek to signify the word Christ, a sort of graffiti code the Romans were not quick to decipher. As a rebellious action, the X ended up being scratched into walls all over the mideast and eventually all over the world. X means Christ in Greek. It is to honor Him. That is a fact.

    I have no problem wishing all a Merry Christmas, I am a Catholic BTW, but I also understand that Merry Xmas is a valid religious term and is not some grand atheist conspiracy to deny our Savior His dignity.
    I've heard this before, and I don't doubt what you're saying. But meanings of things change as time goes by. Example one is the cross itself, once a symbol of shame, now transformed into a symbol of love, hope, and redemption.

    But as we enter 2013, I do not believe "Xmas" is used to honor Christ. It is used by those who are, too often, forgetting him. It is used not to honor Christ, but to dismiss him.

    Okay, so maybe "Xmas" was to honor Christ at some point in long-ago history. But not today.

    Keep the "Christ" in Christmas.

    Great post God Bless all. I wish all a prosperous and most importantly a Christ filled New Year.

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
