(Xmas was used in this 1922 ad in Ladies Home Journal)
The word Xmas is commonly looked upon by many Christians as the commercial term for Christmas. However, the "X" is the Greek letter CHI which is the first letter if the word "Christ", while "mas" is an Old English word for "Mass".
While opposing the use of the word Xmas during their most sacred of holidays, Christians utilize the Labarum (Chi-Ro) which is in itself a Christian symbol representing Christ.
