Largely believed to be a product of commercialization, the term 'Xmas' actually has a long history preceding shopping malls. The letter 'X', which represents 'Chr' in the Greek alphabet, was the original representation of 'Christ' and thus led to the term we see today.

Man attempts to get into house through chimney, injuries reported
WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Santa must have a trick.
The man, whose name was released, fell about 12 feet down the shaft. Authorities said he was hurt but did not elaborate on the nature and extent of his injuries.
A man who was locked out of his house in this Denver tuberculid tried to be in by sliding down the chimney early Friday, but he got stuck and had to be rescued, authorities said.
He convinced authorities it was his home, and there was no evidence he was breaking in, city spokeswoman Jennifer Galli said. Police were present but made no arrests.
Emergency workers were summoned at 3:20 a.m., but it wasn't clear who called.
Firefighters rescued the man by lowering a ladder into the chimney and lifting him to safety. Galli said.

Teenage thief loses pants while attempting to flee from store
LAFEL Ind — A teenager arrested for shoplifting had filled her pocketls with so many items that her pants dropped to her ankles as she tried to run out of the store, police said.
Chaynean E. Dwiggins, 18, is accused of trying to steal cake, kitchen utensils and a box of strawberry Nestle's Nesquik, among other items, from Bauer's Market in Lapel, about 25 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Dwiggins, who was arraigned Thursday on one count of theft, was being held Friday on $5,000 bond.
Store employees became suspicious on Wednesday when Dwiggins, who had been in the store about 30 minutes, walked to the register to pay for a 59-cent necklace, but only had 40 cents.
Store owner Scott Law had watched Dwigins and she knew had pocketed several items, so he confronted her as she tried to leave, according to court papers.
Dwiggins tried to run from the store, but Law grabbed her coat from behind and held onto her until police arrived.
When Police Chief Dennis Molina pulled up, he sweared inside beneath as she tried to escape from Law and back out of the door count records show.
