The xmas myth

-

It has often been said that using the abbreviati­on ‘Xmas’ is actually offensive as it removes ‘Christ’ from the word. However, the letter ‘X’ is actually the same as the letter ‘Chi’ in Greek, which translates to ‘Christ’ — therefore, when you use the shortened version, you are still acknowledg­ing

Jesus.
