Sometimes they say that this is ‘ok’ because the “X” is a substitute for a greek letter that somehow is the same as the word, Christ.
Well, not being a greek scholar, that may or may not be true but I seriously doubt that it is true.
And, even if it is, how many of us non-Greek scholars would interpret the X to stand for Christ?
So, ever since this substitution began, it has seemed to me that writing “Merry X-mas” is just plain wrong and even blasphemy.
An email recently came from a friend of a friend who has a friend (are you confused yet) who is good with graphics.
Apparently the friend of my friend’s friend thinks similarly and made a graphic depicting his views on X-mas.
