Since 2011, I’m walking with my readers every Tuesday from A to Z, last week we had “W-WORDS”, so this week let’s put the focus on “X” – I’m sure you’ll also find a story, photo or a music title tagged with “X”: Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “X”!!! Myself I’ll focus on “Xekong”:

thank you for your detailed research, Debbie: “The Oxford English Dictionary cites usage of Xtianity for Christianity from 1634 and the use of Xmas dates back to at least the start of the 19th century…”

dear Allan, I found an “A” too in your photo, so I hope, we’ll meet again in the next year, when the A to Z challenge starts for the next (2015) round on Tuesday the 6th of January, – have a good Xmas season!
