The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse,
And while at it, did you know that the word "merry" comes from ancient egyptian language and means love? (I do ancient egyptian and hieroglyphs since a view semesters and that was one of the first words we learned)
