what is the explanation why we use "X" to abbreviate the word of christmas?..i get use to use "X" when i'm writing the whole word and my friend ask me, "are you in a hurry?"..i guess so..

its okay to abbreviate words specially on text message, specially when we need to put a lot of word in a single send. but here at mylot abbreviation is not cool. they want us to type all the words we want to say complete. the only abbreviation i can see here are expresions like LOL and some things like that. but in text i docu words as long as the one i am texting understands. when itcomes to writting it down for example greeting cards, i put the whole word... Christmas,birthday. i dont cut the words.
