Answer 3

X = kisses  &  O=hugs so, XOXOXO literally means hugs and kisses.  

Answer 4

xoxo

Hugs and Kisses. O's = Hugs, X's = Kisses. You can just put O's if you haven't shared a kiss with the person yet.

xoxo,

(insert name)

Edit: If you look at each letter like it was representing two people from a bird's eye view, the "O" represents the arms of those persons hugging each other while the "X" is evocative of two people kissing each other.

Answer 5

XOXOX is supposed to mean"sending or writing hugs and kisses your way", but not literally.

The X is Hugs

The O is Kisses

You could say "Hugs and Kisses" and sign your name, but people like it this way "XOXOX". I'm not sure who came up this "XOXOX"

People usually write this to their parent or very close friends.  

Answer 6

x= hugs o = kisses
