Put the X back in Xmas

Now that Christmas is over, I don't mind saying how tired I am of hearing Christians banging on about how we spell it. As if getting people to spell it C-h-r-i-s-t instead of X- would be a major victory. In fact, I'm thinking of starting a campaign to 'Put the cross back in Xmas'. Because if we gave more attention to the ultimate end and purpose of Christ's coming at this time of the year, instead of just its beginning, we might pursue a bit more self-denial and less self-indulgence. And that would surely get us closer to living the kind of life he wants for us...
