Yesterday in Pacific Palisades, parked outside the Village. We have three MMs in the area including mine, but this is the first I've seen in Eldoret.

New personal record- THREE in one trip!
-Light blue on Colorado & Ohio by the King Suppers. Nice rack!
-A white one by the Pancake House in Cherry Hills
-A green one going south on University by DU- I got a ‘toot’ in on that one.

Saying ‘X-mas’ instead of Christmas is off-putting. You’re free to say it, and I’ll defend your right to freedom of speech and expression, but I’m likewise free to register my disapproval.

I was on my way to my son's Greek born parents in law's place for lunch.
If you care to dive down the rabbit hole of knowledge...you will discover...

"Xmas is an abbreviation of Christmas found particularly in print, based on the initial letter chi (Χ) in the Greek Χριστός (Christ)"

Your explanation rings hollow. While you maybe correct etymologically, ‘X-mas’ has been co-opted. The rainbow is a symbol of God’s promise to His people. But it’s been co-opted and we know by who and what their agenda is. The same for X-mas.

Your dismissive and patronizing tone is the tell, so I’m not buying what you’re selling. When you’re explaining, you’re losing. Merry Christmas friend.

Ironically I just had this explain to me (and the rest of the congregation) by a Christian pastor a few weeks ago... Who knew?!

If that was intended to show his/your bona fides, it failed miserably. With the state of the American church today, there isn’t much an American pastor says that impresses me.
