Story Behind The Song

just seeing all the "Xmas" signs and people writing "merry x-mas " instead of Christmas was so agitating to me. I mean, if you are actually using the X to mean the Greek "chi" which is the first letter of "Christ", then why can't you just say or write

Song Description

this song questions the reason why so many people write or speak the word X-mas. Is it really saving you all that much time by not using three more letters? The X is actually a Greek letter (Chi), the first in the word "Christ", but come on .... who

Lyrics

What in the world is Xmas?
I've never figured out
how an X can greet to me
all the love that Christ's about.
What in the world is Xmas?

Walking the street
the people i meet
say "it's Christmas time again?!?"
Talking as though
they've got to go
before the sale runs out, what then?
Shopping, not stopping to see the true light
that is shining from above.
Waiting in line by that Xmas sale sign,
with no sign of True love.

What in the world is Xmas?
I've never figured out
how an X can greet to me
all the love that Christ's about.
What in the world is Xmas?

I read on the card
that you've taken the time
to send to me this year.
It can't be that hard
to fit on the line
greetings of Christmas cheer.
But i open in up
only to find
an "X" in place of Christ.
and that makes me wonder
in my mind,
"who's responsible for this heist?"

What in the world is Xmas?
I've never figured out
how an X can greet to me
all the love that Christ's about.
What in the world is Xmas?

when at last it came to me!
how an "X" is more than Greek to me!
THE CROSS ! (of calvary)
marks my sould eternally!

What in the world is Xmas?
I've finally figured out
how an X can greet to me
all the love that Christ's about.
IF you look at the "X" sort of sideways,
you'll see remnants of a cross
where my savior Jesus died to save the wicked, hurt, and lost.
so that is how i see X-mas.
What in the world is X-mas?
Have a Merry Christmas!
