Xmas

[Jessica]

An abbreviation for Christmas, from the Greek spelling of Christ, the first letter of which was chi (X).

[Dave Paprocki]

Contrary to popular belief, the X in X-Mas was not made up by the secular heathens in California (no attack intended). X-Mas was a shorter version of Christmas, first used in Europe around the 1500s. In Greek, Christs name started with an X, Xristos. Thus, it is literally, Christ-mas, or Christs Mass.

[Sonia]

It just means Christmas. Its easier to write if you put an X. No one is trying to take the precious CHRIST out of Christmas. For Gods sake, lighten up. Your religions not going to die because we say Xmas instead of Christmas.
