I saw this on Bart Millard's Twitter Feed today:
The "X" in Xmas is from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of Χριστός, Christ in Greek.
I don't know how true this is, but Bart is a reputable minister and the lead singer for MercyMe, so I presume he wouldn't joke about Xmas.
Merry Xmas, everyone!

still doesn't sound right. Merry Christmas
HA! I'll never gross the Xers again! Although, I might gently inform them. Thanks, man.
I googled it. Your friend was right. Good to know.
What the X is all the fuss, anyway?
