What Is X-mas

burlesque What is Xmas all about? a concoction of thoughts... Xmas is the winter holiday, memories ersatz. Enjoy trimming your tree; bake all those yummy smells. Take the kids on a snow sled complete with real sleigh bells Tell the stories of Santa Claus and how Rudolph reigns, Build a winter fairy land with miles of paper chains. Sing of Frosty the Snowman along with Jingle Bells Explain toys made by elves way up north where Santa dwells. What is Xmas all about? a concoction of thoughts... Xmas is the winter holiday, memories ersatz. *ersatz -- “imitation or a substitute for something of superior quality” written December 12, 2016 Sponsor Constance La France Contest Name ''X'' Contest, New or Old

I thank you, Constance, and welcomed this contest as an opportunity to state my antipathy towards the word X-mas in a positive way. I'm pleased with the placement you awarded my piece. Why should we Christians be not be surprised at the used of Xmas? His rivals x-ed Him out on the cross?
