The “X” in X-mas

Each of the past several Christmases, I usually end up explaining the use of the “X” in X-mas. Generally, opposition comes from well-meaning Christians seeking to preserve the integrity of Christ. I had not seen this background article from R. C. Sproul (“Why is X Used when it Replaces Christ in Christmas?”), but it is very helpful and worth a read. Thanks, Justin, for the heads-up.

Now, aside from the fancy Greek explanation, I still prefer to see the title of Jesus of Nazareth, Christ, writ large!
