What about the "X"?
Europeans in the 16th century started using "X" in the place of Christ's name as shorthand for writing Christ. The Christian monks and scholars were knowledgeable of the Greek letter "X", - Chi or Khi - which is the first letter in the Greek word "Christos" or "Kristos" (Greek: CristoV) The Greek and Hebrew word "Christos" comes out of "Messiah" and mean the same thing: "The Anointed One."
For many years the "X" was understood by Christian clergy and as time passed, many Christians, educated or not, were not aware of the meaning. Over time the meaning became lost and was later perceived as a sign of disrespect.
This time of year we see many companies and the "Drive-by" media display "Happy Holidays" on banners, ads, and promotions. Many people meet and greet with the same phrase as an all encompassing term to avoid the Christmas phrase all together in this "Politically Correct" world. Some people view the shorthand of writing and speaking "Merry X-mas" as a way to remove Christ from the Holy celebration in December. Even though the conception of the season is watered down, the truth remains, the Christmas seasons is indeed a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Remember : Jesus is the reason for the season!
