Xmas=Satan?

What's the deal with saying Xmas instead of Christmas? Everyone says it's taking the Christ out of Christmas. Others say it's some greek thing. Xristos means Christ or something like that.
Thoughts?

    Actually, the x in x-mas dates back to 1922, when Teddy Roosevelt's son, Theodore Xavier Roosevelt jr. staged the world's largest holiday parade in history, with over 12,000 people marching of all denominations- TXRjr was a notorious fan of diversity- except for the jews, because if one day isn't enough for them, then he felt they shouldn't get any. Ever since then, people have called it Xmas because it was his unique name- otherwise, people thought, his famous father would get the credit.

    Loki is just a mischievous dick.

    Satan has a throne on top a mountain made of skulls surrounded by lakes of fire and blood.

    Plus he has a rad pitchfork. Does Loki have a rad pitchfork? I thought not.
