I am home from college, finally done with a very busy and hard semester! And now I am looking at all the holiday activities. It's a great time of year. I really do not want to get into a discussion about saying CHRISTmas or not.(I wonder if my post title weirded anyone out. lol. Maybe I should of titled it "Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Years") I am in favor of saying Christmas, but I did learn a little thing in the last month. When people are saying "Xmas" they are still saying "Christmas" if they know it or not. "X" is a abbreviation of "Christ". The problem I do have with saying Merry Xmas is that hardly anyone really knows what that means and so the secular world uses it because they think they really are getting rid of saying "Christ". I am not some kind of guy that says if you say xmas you are a terrible person. I believe that since I cannot tell the whole world what "X" stands for then I might as well speak their language and say "Christmas" so they know what I stand for.
I am so glad I'm on break; I am really enjoying my bed, getting caught up on rest, homemade food, and being back in the neighborhood. Of course, I have not gotten all my Christmas shopping done and I'm not terribly worried... maybe I should be a little more. :)
I thank God that He gave his only begotten son!
