ick!!! Merry Xmas makes my skin crawl, saying 'xmas' is such a dumb thing to say, and its sooo disrespectful to our Lord and Saviour...gosh, it may not mean much to people, and maybe Dec 25 isnt the actual DAY Jesus was born, but the fact is we're celebrating His birth...I mean, He couldve been born on Febuary 4th, but its at THIS time that we celebrate the birth of a Man that would change our lives forever, and to shorten Christmas to 'xmas' is so insulting to me. If we dont stand up for something as small as saying 'Merry Christmas', then how could we reach out to people on a more serious scale? If we're too afraid to simply say Merry Christmas, then whats the point of being a minister? Evangelist? CHRISTIAN??? Thats the day Christians should be the MOST excited and proud, at LEAST...man, I reFUSE to allow these idiots to tell me not to gladly share my joy with others by saying Merry Christmas! Imma say it 'til I'm blue in the face, and Im black!!!
