My brother its not ideal, but if this is the price I have to pay for money, then Public Holidays can die for all I care..

If I was a proper employee with all those benefits and pensions, then I would have picked the Chriistmas holiday as my favorite.. But since I have been turned into a Kunta Kinte, then I am all about the money. I can have my public holiday when I am dead.

So Christ = X. I thought its d "Christ" in Christmas that makes dt day not just an ordinary public holiday atleast for christians.
Xmasis a common abbreviationof the word Christmas. It is sometimes pronounced / ˈ ɛ k s m ə s /, but it, and variants such asXtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation / ˈ k r ɪ s m ə s /. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old Englishword for Mass, [ 1 ]while the "X" comes from the Greekletter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek wordΧριστόςwhich comes into English as " Christ".

Christmas is the most observed religious festival in the world. It comes with extra ordinary feeling of joy. As a result most climes observe the holidays including non christians!. Many non christians and non believers who wish to associate themselves with the celebration (just for the fun of it) prefer to call it "xmas" instead of Christmas. Infact, in Us some non christians book flights to celebrate it outside the country, while coporate organisations will say "season's greatings'' to satisfy the secularized Europe. According to collins dictionary, the second meaning of Christmas "also called Christmas day Dec. 25, observed as a day of secular celebrations when gifts and greetings are exchanged"
Christmas is struggling to keep its substance in a secularizing world. Some Christians promote this trend out of ignorance. It is christians that should reclaim what is their's.
