X-MAS Rebecca Thomas

“The X in X-mas doesn’t take Christ out of Christ-mas. X-mas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas; however, some people think that this spelling is not right because it takes the Christ out of Christmas. Don’t worry, no one is taking the Christ any-where. In the Greek al-phabet, the letter X (chi) is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ or Christos.”
