well i dont know if this is where it originated from or not but i know why i use it sometimes - because its shorter and easier to write. i think of it as an abbreviation of christmas.

A letter very similar to our X is the first letter of the word "Christ" in the early Greek versions of the New Testament and later it or the letter we know as X was used as an abbreviation for the name. So, it's an abbreviation of the name Christ, basically.
