“Xmas”?

What is Christmas without Christ?
It is as marriage without love;
It is like friends who prove to be untrue;
It is like a gloomy day in the sunshine of summer.

Christmas without Christ is unthinkable…
Unbearable;
It is like a lack of water in the desert sun;
Like being caught in a blizzard without a coat.

Without Christ, Christmas is like the lost fragrance of a wilted rose;
Or the fake beauty of an uninspired dream;
Yea, Christmas without Christ loses its charm; it loses its essence;
It would become a burden instead of a joy;

What is Christmas without Christ?
It is nothing, nothing at all.
Christmas without Christ is a misnomer…
Take Christ out and all that is left is a “mas” (mess; or “mass”!?)

Take Jesus out and there is no more reason to celebrate!
It makes no sense to have Christmas without Christ.
Why look forward to getting days off work?
Why celebrate? What do you celebrate without Christ?

Jesus is the “reason for the season”;
He is Christmas itself.
Were it not for Him there would be no celebrations;
No season to rejoice.

Men go to office parties and look for Christmas bonuses, but what is it all for if not for Christ? Why take time off work, or celebrate in whatever fashion you do so? If you do not honor Christ, there is no Christmas for you; no “you“ for Christmas!

(The author realizes that X is the Greek symbol for Christ, but why omit it in English? As English speaking people, we attempt to omit the name of Christ when we leave it out of CHRISTmas)
