#60 ~ Never write the word Christmas as Xmas! You've just taken the Christ out of Christmas.

Silent Night
I try to do a Spotlight Saturday as I find new blogs (to me anyway.) And while I have a few new ones that I would love to introduce, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this. It's absolutely beautiful. Anyone who can understand Gaelic will certainly appreciate it. But the beauty in this video is that even if you can't, you'll still appreciate it. Merry Christmas Everyone. Close your eyes and listen to this beautiful song. Pause my Playlist!

Good Morning Julie,
Thanks for coming by and checking on me. I just finished a new post for today. You are so right, we should never ever take Christ out of Christmas. He is the Reason for the Season. I love the beautiful video. I just gave me chills. Very touching. It's another rainy day here in Paradise. LOL. Rain is in the forecast for all weekend and even into next week. Well, take care my friend and have a great Saturday. May God Bless You and Yours.
Hugs,
Karen H.
I have this on my playlist... I love Enya... :)
Actually, X is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Xristos. SO it could be taked either way...
Thanks for being such a good friend, Julie! I appreciate your help making my blog actually make sense. :)
I don't the average person knows that when abbreviating Christmas. I believe that when people shorten Christmas to Xmas it's just to save space and they have no idea that Christ begins with the letter X in Greek. Just saying...
Love,
Julie
Very nice post Julie and I agree, it has to be Christmas.
Julie...that was beautiful!!
I enjoyed listening to you at POLLY's!!! Just as you were about to speak the Cookoo Clock chimed and I had to play you again!! ...sounds weird doesn't it??
You are such a Blessing....
Love,
Robin
No...I wasn't on...I'll call Polly NEXT time!! I only hear 5 too! I think the sidebar cut off the last one?
I so agree Julie, I never write X-mas!
...I didn't mean that YOU sounded weird...LOL...I meant that when I said I had to "play you again" THAT sounded weird! LOL
Sorry
Beautiful! Without Christ there wouldn't be CHRISTmas! :-)
I have never been able to bare writing Xmas instead of Christmas. Where does that come from anyway? Oh, never mind. I read the other comments but still I can't write it that way. Merry Christmas.
I got that Enya cd on clearance last year! Now where did I put it????
Julie I could NOT hear it..I am familar with Enja love her!
I agree with the writing of the word Christ-mas....is that not what we celebrate the birth of Jesus our Christ! Peace NG
Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi! I just wanted to point out the the X Does represent Christ, but I see someone beat me to the punch. The X represents Xristos (Christ) in Greek and Russian Orthodox religions.
Funny thing, I guess I never realized that a lot of people thought that X-Mas meant taking Christ OUT of Christmas! I guess I just assume everyone knew that! I am glad I learned that! I am sure a lot of people I know don't know that. So interesting!
Enya has a beautiful voice. My family has many of her albums.
I just love coming here.
My priest told us the same thing about the X in greek.... but I still think the word christmas looks better than Xmas!
