X for Kiss

Did you ever wonder where the X for Kiss came from? Well I get this news letter every month where I live and there were some interesting things about the month of February and Valentines. This just happened to be in there. So for what it's worth, here it goes.

The "X" symbolized a kiss because in ancient days, when few people knew how to write, they would simply sign an "X" to show their agreement, then kiss the mark to emphasize their sincerity.

Aren't you glad that people finally learned how to write? I sure am.
