The "X" is actually symbolic of the cross that bore Christ, although to me it seems like mixing holidays. The cross is symbolic of the Easter season (Good Friday specifically).
Happy Holidays is meant to wish good tidings upon those who don't celebrate Christmas, and is easier to say than Happy Christmas-Channukah-Kwanzaa-Winter Solstice-yadda-yadda-yadda.

Using Xmas is not really taking Christ out of Christmas. The "X" in some older cultures actually signified Christ. So while it looks like a short cut, it really is portraying Him.

Get over it; Xmas is done. You have a whole year to revise your arguments in preparation for the next holiday season. When you prepare, read up on what "Xmas" actually stands for, so you can sound halfway intelligent.

What this has to do with comics is beyond me, but an answer is an answer and the answer is no.
Of course if you are a conservative person there is no satisfying you, but Christmas has a cultural meaning that is beyond the strictly religious holdiay.
It is a day of family, love and togetherness and most of all peace.
And I can't see anything wrong with that.

Yes it is. Merry Christmas Shows christian character. When you write Merry X-Mas it seems you don't take the time for christmas spirit
