I've always he...Cathy, this is so interesting. I've always heard that the use of Xmas began because of limited space in advertising. ie. small signs etc. The abbreviated use was a practical solution to limited space... with neither political or spiritual implications = non-offensive. Unfortunately, in today's world Christ is being systematically eradicated, understandably compelling Christians to hold tightly to the word 'Christ' in Christmas. <br />Thanks for the history behind the X! I'll remember this!<br />Thanks for coming by Mary @ Woman to Woman!<br />Blessings ~ Mary Mary Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826652758652110254noreply@blogger.com
