What the hell is X-Mas?

What the hell is X-Mas? What does X-Mas mean? It seems to coincide with Christmas Is it something for the teens? Is X-Mas from the X-Men A Marvel comic sort of thing I've looked it up on google And no bells does X-Mas ring Now, Christmas, that is different I know exactly when that is Well, not exactly to the minute Is X-Mas the same as this? I'm told that X-Mas is a way to write down Christmas fast I mean how lazy can a person be To worry just what time has passed? Christ is represented now By an X and a small dash Just think of all the time you saved and of all the extra cash Saved by companies on Christmas cards It really makes you think Three letters gone from Christmas cards They save a ton of ink An X, it just does not make sense At least it don't to me If the X stands for his cross Then why not use small T To paraphrase a friend of mine Don't send a card to me If Christmas isn't printed there Then it's a card I will not see X-Mas is not a phrase Even PC people say They don't even understand it's use They all say Holidays So have a Merry Christmas Celebrate, our saviour's birth And bury X-Mas in a snow drift Even that's more than it's worth.
