So is it really Christmas? Or is it X-Mas, as everyone now seems to call this holiday season. I do not understand why people want to take 'Christ' off from Christmas!
The real meaning of 'Christmas' seems to lost in oblivion. The fact is no one really remembers Christmas for the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas has become more like a 'festival'. In fact, it would have been great if Christmas was seen even as a 'festival'. But it ain't the case anymore! Christmas now, is all about drinks, dance and partying.
Sure there are reasons to celebrate for the birth of Christ is a big event in itself. But, its even more important to remember that Jesus Christ no longer is a little kid in a manger. I believe he grew up, died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day! NOW, that's one great reason to celebrate-- the fact that He still lives for you and for me and He still hears us when we call (one of my previous posts can vouch for this fact).
There is absolutely nothing wrong in partying. But unfortunately, the hard truth is that hardly anyone does it to celebrate the birth of a Saviour.
So, I guess X-Mas seems to be the apt name now for Christmas.
A belated Merry Christmas to all... oops... Merry 'X-Mas'!!!
