Public Service Announcement: "X-mas" is not a bad thing!

Every Christian has, at one time or another, held in the back of his or her mind, one thought during the Christmas season: our second-most important holiday (behind Easter) is co-opted every year by the masses and turned into nothing more than a celebration of excess and materialism. Quite often, people point to the abbreviation "X-mas" as evidence that the world is taking Christ out of Christmas.

Even if they think that's true, Christians can go ahead and smile -- because nothing could be further from the truth.
