X is the first letter of Christ in Greek, that's where Xmas comes from, it's not supposed to erase Christ

X is a Latin letter that happens to look like the first letter of Christ in Greek but it's not the first letter of Christ in Greek. Conflating alphabets is the most baby mistake. XBOCT isn't pronounced Xbox.

There has never been any christ in everyone's favorite festivity, but replacing christ with an X does take all the traces of Christianity from it, because nobody looks at the X and thinks it's the first letter of christ.
