X’Mas
What is “xmas”? I suspect that the X stands for “cross”, as Christ died on the cross. Christ = cross = X. If that’s true, who the hell thought that one up? The printing companies trying to cut down on their ink costs?

The “X” in Xmas stands for Xristos which means Christ in Greek. Europeans began using the first initial of Christ’s name, “X” in place of the word Christ in Christmas as a shorthand form of the word.
