"...The word itself is an abbreviated form of "Christ Mass,"
i.e., sacrament in commemoration of Christ. Although taken by Christians

celebration, December 25th, cannot be traced back any further than the
fourth century after Christ. Ironically, this day is also
considered to be the birthday of the Hindu god, Krishna, as well as
Mithra, the Greek god of light...."
