No, they are exactly the same, just written differently.

The X in X-Mas came from the Greeks.
Which means Christmas

No difference. It still has the same meaning either way, X-mas is just faster to write.

Christmas comes from Christ's Mass... and refers back to the occasion of the start of Christ yuletide is an abbreviation. and customarily utilized in a hurry and by making use of people who have not considered or push aside the belief of the reason at the back of the season

X-mas is the abbreviation, I think done by the
Greeks, with 'x' standing for J meaning Jesus,
it is just a shortcut, this was my understanding
of it.

Not really much of a different. But "X-mas" have been used to refer as sexual holiday; like XXX-mas, etc.

X'MAS is actually the abbrevation of christmas so that it could be written faster if one's in a hurry.

Actually, both are intended to be the same, but I really dislike seeing Xmas. Christ is who we are celebrating, and I think His name should be left intact, if for no other reason than respect and reverence to Him (Jesus Christ). I don't like to see His name "X-ed" out.
