Do not Commercialize X, Mas

By : Cajetan Peter D'Souza

Dear Sir, It is sad to see that the festival of Christmas is so glamorised by the ad-world and by other people for their selfish motives. Even the word, "Christmas" has been reduced to "X-Mas". Many still do not know that reducing "Christmas" to X-Mas. The phrase, "X-Mas" is literally and symbolically distasteful. Not only does it "X" out Christ from Christmas, but also gives a negative picture. Christmas is celebrated as a birthday of Jesus Christ. It is the most significant event in human history. Today with the enhanced commercialisation of Christmas, many people remove Christ from Christmas; we have malls, shopping arcades, schools and even other people celebrating Christmas, but are forgetting to thank the same Christ for the goodness and gifts he gives during lifetime. The Commercialised Christmas also has reduced the spirit of Christmas, and Christmas has today become just a day of enjoyment, merry making and dancing, forgetting that Jesus was born in a poor abode of a stable, and we celebrate Christmas without the Christ-presence in our lives. Today we keep Christmas everywhere but fail to celebrate the great festival by placing Jesus in our hearts and our lives. As we celebrate the festival of Christmas, let us all work to bring the message by spreading love, joy, peace and hope to people waiting to be loved and wanted. Let's not the commercialisation of Christmas come in the way to bring cheer to those who are sad, joy to the sorrowful and freedom to those in captive. Wishing all readers a Happy and Holy Christmas, and may Christ's joy, fill your hearts and lives all the days of your life. Thanking you, Yours in Service of Christ, Cajetan Peter D'Souza
