Christmas - I use it because we are celebrating the birth of Christ, not of the department stores making a huge profit.

I think people who argue over that need to seriously find something else to do! X-mas is simply a shorthand way of spelling out Christmas. No one is trying to take Christ out of Christmas. I think people who say things like that actually want Christ taken out of Christmas just so that they can have something to complain about. Geez people! I use both depending on what I'm writing or typing.

I write either one. Contrary to popular belief, X-mas isn't an attempt to "X Christ out of Christmas"
In this case, X is the Greek letter pronounced Chi, and it was often used in place of writing out "Christ" It's an abbreviation that's been around for hundreds of years, it's nothing new or insidious. So I use either one, depending on my mood and the amount of space on the paper.

I prefer Christmas. I believe though that "X" in x-mas refers to Christ in Greek.

I prefer the original because the birth of Christ whom Christmas is in honour of is the reason for the season

Christmas because of the birth of christ that's why it's "Christ"-mas
