I don't know who started it, but many years ago businesses started putting up banners that said Merry Xmas instead of Merry Christmas. Many thought the businesses were trying to X out Christ. I have recently come to believe they were trying to save money. One letter is cheaper than six. In the Greek X is the symbol for Christ. So if you spell it out or use the X, Christ remains in Christmas. Merry Christmas!!!
