It is a little known fact that the Hip-Hop duo ‘Kris Kross’ invented the term X-mas, a phrase that is used in many English speaking countries to abbreviate ‘christmas’. In their self titled album released in 1989, Chris says ‘I put the ‘Chris’ into ‘christmas’ // rhymes so deep I be breaking your isthmus’ on the lyrical sheet that had been written, ‘christmas’ was written as X-mas, presumably to save time.
