Out of the mouth of a first grader. This was his question to me today. He was looking at a book title and noticed that there is a T in Christmas but we do not pronounce it, so he asked. I was able to give the answer because I heard it a while back. People used to go to mass on Christmas morning and they called it Christ's Mass. Things were shortened and it became Christmas. So I was glad that I could share that answer today. Christ is still in the hearts of little ones.
I have never heard that reason before - I learned something new today - thank you!
