Xmas  (kris′məs or, often, eks′məs),USA pronunciation 
  1. Christmas.
    The abbreviation Xmas for Christmas dates from the mid 16th century. The X is the Greek letter chi, the initial in the word Χριστός (Christos) "Christ.'' In spite of a long and respectable history, today Xmas is offensive to many, perhaps because of its associations with advertising. It is not used in formal writing.
