"Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas".
The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "Mass",
while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter
of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".
There is a common misconception that the word Xmas is a secular attempt
to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas".
