TapReclaiming Xmas

I have always avoided using the word Xmas:

You are taking the Christ out of Christmas

people would say. Now I think, on the contrary,

  • The X stands for Christ and can mean nothing else.
  • It is a reminder of the sacrifice God made when he sent his Son.
  • It is a reminder of the destiny of the child that was born so innocent.

So use the word well and remember what it stands for.

I can’t see myself ever using Crimble however. That is taking the “mass”, the celebration, out of Christmas—I wonder why there is only one “s” on the end?
