Xmas
I cherish and relish the sweet sound of this word,
As though carols of the celebration are heard;
My curiousness, in my childhood, got evoked,
To find, with this charming word, the greeting cards cloaked...!
When others wrote the full form, I said, that was wrong,
It's Xmas and not Christmas, loudly I did gong;
I could not believe, even when I grew in age,
That there's another word for this age-old message...!
Why this abbreviation? Did I analyze?
Aren't both these words, within them, great concepts comprise?
Did the use of one word instead of the other,
Did, at any time affect? I did not bother...!
It needed pondering and much meditation,
Until I came to the true realization;
Whether the word Christmas or Xmas, I chatter,
Isn't incarnation of Emmanuel matter..???
