Lots of people think that the X in Xmas is a secular watering down of the word Christ. You know, “we love to celebrate the holiday but don’t believe in Jesus,” sort of thing. However, this is not the case. The X actually comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of Χριστός. Now, if that’s all Greek to you, Χριστός, of course, means Christ.
Now, I'm not saying I'm Christ to you people, but now that it's in that little head of yours, it's kinda tough to get out, isn't it?
Which makes me...Christtime!
