The Myth of X

Maybe it's just me, but I think X is getting a bit too much credit. 

X wasn't the one and only son of God, sent to Earth in human form. 
X was not born in a manger, visited by shepherds.
X didn't heal anyone, or raise anyone from the dead. 
X wasn't hung on a cross to die for sins it didn't commit. 
The blood of X did not save me from my sins. 
X didn't come back to life. 
X isn't in Heaven right now, preparing a place for those who believe. 
I don't call X my lord and savior. 

Thus, I will never use the phrase "X-Mas," because I don't celebrate the birth of X. 
I celebrate Christmas, because it was Jesus who did all those things. 
The world may want to turn Christmas into simply "the holidays," but that doesn't mean I'm going to. 

Thus, Merry Christmas!
