I so agree with the correct spelling! I read once that by putting the X in front of mas took Christ out of Christmas - so I have never spelt it that way :)
@gilbertwood Our entire Christmas sermon series last year was labeled "X". Turns out that "X" is really the Greek letter for Chi, which is tied to Christ. When they first started using the X, it was really for Christ. I objected, too, until I heard that. If you wish, here is the link to the sermon: http://cbglades.com/teachings/x-christmas/
Love this! It's easy to get busy and let the focus shift; but I'm determined to keep Christ the center of Christmas, too. I appreciate your beautiful image and commentary. One can never get too many reminders!
