xmas
Xmas 是 Christmas 的非正式缩写,主要用于表示“圣诞节”;也可极少见地作动词,表示过圣诞节。
💡 记忆钩子
把 Xmas 想成把“基督”压缩成一个 X,再和表示弥撒、节日的部分合在一起:先记住它指“圣诞节”,动词用法则是从“过圣诞节”这个活动进一步长出来的。

core 圣诞节📖 Xmas 是 Christmas 的非正式缩写,指圣诞节;看到它时,可以直接把它理解成“圣诞节”。💡 常见模板是“spend Xmas with + 人”或“at Xmas”。它的语体比 Christmas 随意,正式写作中通常改用 Christmas。不要把 Xmas 当作表示某一天日期的普通缩写。abbreviation alt-of countable informal uncountableWe’re spending Xmas with our grandparents.我们要和祖父母一起过圣诞节。The shop will be closed at Xmas.这家商店圣诞节期间会关门。

🌳 词源
X 最初借用希腊字母 Χ,代表 Christ(基督);Xmas 由此成为 Christmas 的缩写形式。
Attested in this form since 1755, and preceded by earlier forms such as X'temmas (1551) and Old English Χp̃es mæssa (1100), from Cristes mæsse, with abbreviation of Cristes by the symbol X, orthographic borrowing from Ancient Greek Χ (Kh, letter chi), from Χριστός (Khristós, “Christ”). By surface analysis, X (“Christ”) + -mas (“holiday”). In popular use since late 19th century. See Wikipedia for more information.
