Someone told me that since "X" is the Greek letter for "Chi" (duh, we should all know that), then "Xmas" is an appropriate abbreviation. Though, isn't that explanation missing a few letters? I know that the traditional short-form Greek representation for Christ is a Chi and Rho (XP) often depicted with the with the two letters superimposed.

Does anyone know the story behind "Xmas"?
