I was told as a child that people who didn't believe in Christ would use X instead Christ, but I don't think that is true now from what I've read. Here is a clip from a site that seemed to be pretty reliable:
You see, the X in Xmas did not originate as our English alphabet's X but as the symbol X in the Greek alphabet, called Chi, with a hard ch. The Greek Chi or X is the first letter in the Greek word Christos. Eric G. Gration claims that as early as the first century the X was used as Christ's initial. Certainly through church history we can trace this usage. In many manuscripts of the New Testament, X abbreviates Christos (Xristos). In ancient Christian art X and XR (Chi Ro--the first two letters in Greek of Christos abbreviate his name. We find that this practice entered the Old English language as early as AD 100. Moreover, Wycliff and other devout believers used X as an abbreviation for Christ.

Christmas, some people say xmas is christmas without Christ, but I had a Religious Education teacher who said x could be thought of as the symbol x meaning chri, so basicall xmas meant the same thing.
