Most people around the world uses Xmas to represent Christmas and sometimes we have seen it in the books of small kids which represent Xmas as Christmas. But does Xmas really means Christmas ?because i have never seen this word used by father in a church or written in church songbook. So what does this word Xmas actually means ?
Xmas is popularly associated with a trend toward materialism, and sometimes the target of people who decry the emergence of general "holiday" observance instead of particular cultural and religious rituals.
But the history of the word "Xmas" is actually more amazing. It was fist first used in mid 1500s. X is a Greek letter "chi,". X has been the acceptable representation of word "Christ" for hundreds of years.
The mas in Xmas is the old English world for "mass."
So, according to my research the word "X" and "mas" have general meaning and these two words are used with conjunction with many other words. The question is what does "X" stands for in "Xbox" ?
hey nice work man....i never thought that it realy means that.....
