It is eight days to go before Christmas!
I searched about the meaning of "Xmas" because of confusion that people eliminate "Christ" from Christmas. "The X in Xmas is actually the Greek letter Chi, which was a common abbreviation of Kristos, Christ's name". Please visit this site: http://phrogz.net/xmas

A teacher once told us that it is wrong to use "X" in "Christmas" because "Xmas" is like crossing out "Christ", something like that. From then on, I never used "Xmas" again. This post straightened that belief. Thank you for sharing this. This is very interesting. Merry Xmas! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Your post is interesting and informative!
ReplyDeleteOur teacher in high school told us the main word in "Christmas" is "Christ". Now I know that it is a common abbreviation of Kristos in Greek.
