The x was used as representing Christ. It was a short cut. But I would not do that, because that shortcut is no longer understood.

Since you asked: When you use the term "Xmas" you ARE saying Christmas. As my father explained it to me years ago. In the Greek alphabet, the letter "X" is pronounced "Christos" meaning Christ. So over the years, to shorten the written greeting, people simply wrote Xmas for Christmas which when you say it out loud, is the same thing. So, in keeping with history - Merry Xmas to all!

The Greek letters Chi X and Rho P
used together X have always been used as a representative of Christ. Here is one with the alpha and omega as well

Started not to even look at this thread because of the X. But it's great to see others standing up for Christ in Christmas which is who it's all about. Merry Christmas to all.

The word Christmas comes from the combination of the words 'Christ' and 'mass. ' But where did the X in Xmas come from, and what does it mean? In the Greek alphabet, X is the symbol for the letter 'chi. ' Chi (or X) is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ.

no one knows why or who we have this holiday.
Here we still use the old pagan name yule for this season. Whatever people believe or don't like myself I want to wish everyone happy holidays and celebrate that we spend precious time with our loved ones.
