X marks the spot ...

... where Christ has been taken out of Christmas. It is common to hear people refer to Xmas and even 'Chrimbo'.
Why am I, you might ask, talking about Christmas, as it is not one of the Holy Days in the Baha'i calendar? Well, many of my family are Christian, and they come to visit us at Christmas time. The last of our relatives has now gone home and the house is returning to a more 'normal' appearance. Respect for all faiths is important in the Baha'i teachings, and the harmony and unity of the family is also important. Members of our family will be joining us when we celebrate our Baha'i Holy Days.

"Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship"
