Here is a lovely sentiment for the holiday season! #CityImages is sharing the origins of the term "Christmas" and highlighting the etymology, tracing it back to its earlier forms, 'Christ's Mass' in Old English. It's fascinating to note how language evolves, especially in the context of religious and cultural celebrations.
