Xmas

"A King deserves His full name~Christmas. Xmas is not good enough." By Poet Can you smell the home-baked cookies, all the wonderful goodies. The tree is all decorated, beneath the nativity scene has been created. A beautiful word like Christmas, has been cut down for business. Xmas will never do, the word makes me feel blue.

Congratulations Paula, on a fine tribute to Christmas. You are quite right - Xmas is a cut down, abbreviation of the real thing. Cheers, Brian

Agree with your sentiments dear Paula. Not only the word Christmas is cut down for business, but the very celebration of it is now cut down to money making business. Congratulations on your first place win.

Hi Paula! It’s obnoxious, atheistic and disgusting to not write Christmas. Not one person here is Christ. So why not just X him out? Man thinks he’s more important than the Creator. We’re su busy wanting adulation from other poets,,the fact is write meaningless comments CHRIST takes too much time! I will X out all such poets from nY life.or any out to lower the demeanor of this site. There are poetry sites for trash.. This is not one of them.

Thanks for reading/writing. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my Xmas write. How about typing out "Christmas" and "Merry Christmas." Then put them into a folder on your computer. This way when you need to write "Christmas" it will be really to go. No Typing... Have a blessed day writing away.........................
