What's Your Favorite Xmas Song?

The history of "X" in the church is a good one in this discussion. Because of the Roman persecution of the early church, the church would often refer to Christ as "X" so as to escape notice from those who would persecute them. So, believe it or not, if you look at the history and traditions of the church to replace Christ with an "X" you are actually referring to Christ anyway!

I was lucky enough to visit the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey, and saw the "X" carved into the stone walkways (actually the "X" had other lines superimposed onto it so it ended up looking like a circle with pie slices.) It was a secret signal to Christians to let them know other Christians had been there.

Mary lived out the rest of her years a few miles from that city.

I'm not a religious person, just try to follow the golden rule, which I believe was Christ's message. Some days I do better than others....

"Mary, did you know?" is indeed a beautiful Christmas song. My favorites though are all the songs from 'The Grinch' TV special.
