The TRUE Reason for the Season

Hi everyone! sorry for not posting for a long time; Christmas is really a busy season. Amidst all the busyness of Christmas, we must know the real reason for the season. Do you know how the word "Christmas" was formed? It is related to the true reason for the season which I will be talking about today.

The Reason for the Season 

First, let us talk about the REAL and TRUE reason for the season which is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is not about gifts, toys, goodies, Santa ,nor gatherings and parties. Jesus Christ is the real reason for the season.

The word "Christmas"

Now how the word Christmas was formed is very obvious since we now know the real reason for the season. CHRIST-mas, Jesus Christ's name is in the name of the holiday itself which makes it more true that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. the word "mas" may be translated to "mass" as the Old English word for Christmas is Crīstesmæss which means, Christ's mass. In other words Christmas is a time where we celebrate our savior's birth.

The word "X-mas"

I do not approve of people using the word "X-mas" as an abbreviation or a nickname for the word "Christmas". They are taking out the word "Christ" in the word "Christmas" and exchange it for the letter "X" which makes Christmas not a time for celebrating the birth of Christ.

I hope you guys learned something about the true meaning of Christmas as I will keep posting more about it. I really hope that I can post more, but first things first and Christmas is really a busy season for everyone. Hope to post soon! ^_^
