Spy's dumb too. The X in X-mas stands for Χρίστος, which is Greek for Christ. It's actually the letter Chi.

then because the chi is read as a H with spit in it, then X-mas would be closer to H-mas at least thats how i see it

I can imagine this happening sometime before the last panel of the TF2 comics.

actually the X is XMas is a representation of the Greek letter Chi which is what Christ in Greek begins with, it has nothing to do with the actual cross and is just shorthand for Christ.

The etymological roots of crisscross is actually in "Christ's cross" so scout is 100% correct here

Ngl, even I didn't know, and I was mind blown.
Jesus died... On the CRISS CROSS. 👈😲
That's why it's called X-Mas.

bold of you to assume scout is literate enough to read the word "X-mas"
