The X came about, if memory serves me, during the Pegan days, where the X meant the CROSS, which in turn was to stand for Christ. It really isn't a slight on Christ. I too used to be upset when I saw this Xmas crap, and I guess I still am. But I now know that it isn't a slight, just a lazy way to say Christmas.

Re: how was you x-mas?
I will ALWAYS say CHRISTmas as that's what the holiday is called and about.
I don't think I'll ever get lazy enough to not say the word "Christ"
I also wont say Happy Holidays for the same reason

Re: how was you x-mas?
When my kids were small, we referred to Christmas Day as Christ's Birthday.
Gotta remember what's important in life.

Re: how was you x-mas?
It comes for an old Christian symbol meaning "Christos" and was shortened to the X by western culture.. it looks like this http://www.crivoice.org/images/symbols/chirho.bmp

In Greek, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ, and it, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ since the mid-16th century.[14] Hence, Xmas is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Christmas
