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 stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas".
Of course Christmas or Xmas originated to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Commonly believed to be December 25th, but that too is a misconception and most likely Christ was born in the spring of the year.
