So What your saying is that the putting in the extra effort to say Christ's name is not important to you? Maybe thats what i don't understand. Oh, You save your hand five extra letters of writing. God forbid you write his name out.

Believe it or not, "Xmas" has nothing to do with atheism.
"X" has been used as a kind of shorthand for "Christ" for centuries--you can just as legitimately use "Xianity" as a shortened form of "Christianity."
This is one abbreviation that we can't lay at the atheists' door, which is probably a good thing, since they seem to have influenced so much else in modern life.
Peace be unto you!

It may be how you "see" it, but 800 years of history says you are seeing it wrong.
Xmas is Christmas, like it or not.
