Xmas是圣诞节英文Christmas的缩写。它翻译自希腊语的ΧΡΙ∑ΤΟ∑，(音译为：Christos，基督)。新约圣经是用希腊语写成的。Xmas的首字母X代表了希腊字母Χ，这是基督的希腊名字的首字母。可是，因为现代字母X的承继，很多人不经意地以为这种缩写是将Christmas之中的「Chris」去掉。也有些人误以为X是代表基督的十字架，其实只有圣安德鲁的十字是X型的，基督的十字是型如T或有长尾巴的+号。古代基督教标志χ和χρ（Chi Ro——希腊语基督徒的首两个字母）是基督名字的缩写。在很多新约原稿中，基督(Xristos)缩写为X。牛津英语字典里这种缩略用法可以追溯到1551年，这比英国殖民美洲早50年、比钦定圣经的完成早60年。同时，Xian和Xianity也是基督徒和基督教的缩写（不及Xmas使用普遍）。这种缩写使用广泛, 但并非所有人都接受；一些人认为这贬低了耶稣的身份。在台湾，由於以讹传讹经常有人将此缩写误写成「X\'mas」，但是实际上这个缩写加上撇号反而是错的。美国电视动画《乃出个未来》中，在31世纪，Xmas是从前叫做Christmas（圣诞节）的那个日子的官方名字。

圣诞快乐的英文是：Merry Christmas，Xmas是圣诞节的英语「Christmas」的意思，写法还有X'mas（东亚地区用得较多）。由来是在古时候在欧洲专和中东地区，不同宗属教的信徒之间经常引起争执，佊此存有敌意，佊此也看不起对方。
非基督徒就故意用X来代替Christ，于是将Christmas写成Xmas，用作蔑视基督教徒或耶稣的写法。但巧合的是，Christ的希腊文是Xristos，第一个字母是X。后来的人见写Xmas比写Christmas方便，出于懒惰便渐渐写成Xmas。
