Xmas (Christmas)
n.
Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus
Xmas
"Xmas" and "X-mas" are common abbreviations of the word "
Christmas". They are sometimes pronounced "eksmas", but they, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the pronunciation "Christmas". The "-mas" part came from the
Anglo-Saxon for "festival", "religious event": Crīstesmæsse or Crīstemæsse. This abbreviation is widely used but not universally accepted; some view it as demeaning to
Christ, whilst others find it a helpful abbreviation.
