The "X" in Xmas is actually the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter in the Greek word Christos or Χριστός.

It is an Ancient CHRISTIAN abbreviation for Christ used to HONOR his name.

It is a practice called "Nomina Sacra". The abbreviation of sacred names out of respect.

I also recommend the Hoopla App.

Most Library systems offer books on both.

One great thing about Hoopla is that there is NEVER a wait for a book. You can check it out IMMEDIATELY.

I use both Libby & Hoopla.
