"X" the Unknown

What do you think of when you see the word Xmas? First of all, the letter X relates to an unknown entity and could be a person, place or thing. So, how do you describe the word "xmas"?

When the x is capitalized, it could refer to a major holiday or anything and could lose it's significance, especially if it is substituted for the Christ of Christmas.

After all, Christ is the One who was born in Bethlehem of Judea (Luke 2:4-7). Later in His life, He would be crucified for your sins and mine. Then on the third day, He rose from the dead finalizing His purpose on this earth. Do you know Him as your personal saviour? Let us respect Christ and change Xmas back to Christmas where it deserves to be.
