Keeping Christ in Christmas: How to Navigate Holiday Conversations in a Secular Culture

#10 In this festive episode of Uncomfortable Conversations for Christians, host Paul Basden delves into three hot-button topics surrounding Christmas in today’s world. From nativity scenes and “Happy Holidays” greetings to the controversy over “Xmas,” Paul offers thoughtful perspectives on how Christians can celebrate Jesus’ birth with grace and confidence in a pluralistic society.

Join us as Paul unpacks these timely questions and provides guidance for meaningful, Christ-centered holiday interactions:

• Why “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” can both reflect Christ’s love
• The history and meaning behind abbreviating Christmas as “Xmas”
• How to approach holiday traditions in a way that honors Jesus and respects others
• Living out an incarnational life of love in an increasingly secular world

Perfect for those who want to navigate holiday conversations with joy and thoughtfulness, this episode reminds us that Jesus remains the heart of the season—no matter the words or traditions we use to celebrate Him.
