1. Why Do People Call It “Xmas”?

   mentalflossr:

   

   Lots of people think the X in Xmas is a secular watering down of the word Christ. You know, “we love to celebrate the holiday but don’t believe in Jesus,” sort of thing. But that’s not the case.

   The X actually comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of Χριστός. Now, if that’s all Greek to you, Χριστός, of course, means Christ.

   [by David K. Israel]

   Oh I get it.

       Hate it when people fuss about it being “taking Christ out of Christmas” It was also originally a telegram shortening....
