    The "X" in xmas
    Where did the "X" in xmas come from. You would think it would be "cmas" considering christmas starts with a C.

    The 'X' in Xmas

    I cannot speak for the validity of these statements. It is just some info I thought might get you started in your search for answers.

    Wikpedia has a fairly decent article on this: Xmas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I remember from grade school, going to a Catholic school and solely taught by nuns, that one of my fellow students (we were in second grade) used Xmas in a card he was making. You would have thought a bomb fell from the sky - our teacher, Sister Martin DePores, lit into him about using Xmas. No one ever made that mistake again.
