Its short and X is a Christian symbol.
because x is like a cross. chris cross. hahaha yu get it??
Well: .Χριστός is Greek for Christ so that’s why they took the X and call it X-mas.
same thing
It originated from the greek letter “chi” which looks like an X. It represented a “k” sound like that at the start of the word “Christmas”.
