Is it okay to use the expression 'Xmas'?

I used to use such abbreviations for years, but I’ve gone off such. I think it’s a matter of personal taste, though it could offer needless offence. You might enjoy this: https://religiousaffections.org/art...-and-christmas-a-lost-chapter-from-herodotus/ To some extent, I think it’s fair to say that most non-Christians—and some Christians—use [X] as the Unknown, the Incidental. Putting ‘Christ’ back into Christmas, and Xianity, is no bad thing. If all were Christians, the abbreviation would be less problematic.

That's a good point: not all would take to the idea of a Mass - or even Dec.25 having pagan roots;) What the heck.
Yes, if it is "X"'s birthday.

It's actually a symbol meaning Christ, iirc. In Greek or Latin or something.
I use it if I need to abbreviate, but not often

Could you post some support please?
I've never heard of this and it seems unlikely to me.

I think everything is open on Christmas Eve.
I just think it's nasty to take Christ out of Christmas...
and I can't think of any Latin or Greek reasoning with the lettering...
Unless someone wants to post something, which I've requested already.

Greek the letter is chi.
The Latin will be x.
I use xmitter,xformer,xmission.
When you have limited note for locating that is what is used.

Read it.Xmas - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
People don't know about this.
It's the first letter of Christ...not enough
It's still takes Christ out of Christmas.
Who's going to take the language lesson?
Which I don't even agree with...

So the chi rho used by the rcc and used by mine is wrong .we hang that on our Christmas tree.america is very post Christianity . One nation under God really deserves a thread .because each person these days see God not very biblically
Christ is defined by these
The mormon ,the brother of Satan ,the son of god
The jw an archangel
The unity types ,a spirit ,a gnostic tradition.
So simply saying Christmas as all but the jw celebrate it doesn't do much.
My wife sees Christ very differently then me and believes In aliens .I told her trump may be a grufter but just because you or the media as some say he isn't the ac.if anything the way the Democrats redefine gender and support and promote the lbgt that is what the Bible says the ac will do
