The early X-ians (pre-Charlemagne) used the greek 'X' or 'chi' as a symbol for christ to avoid persecution (much like the fish).
I have a very negative childhood story about 'X-mas'. I brought home a X-mas card that we made for my parents in school (about first grade)that said "Merry X-mas". My father took one look at it and blew up, ranting about sacrilege and such. I was crushed.
