i don't like x-mas because it takes the CHRIST out of Christmas which is the whole point behind Christmas not just santa and hohoho and presents.

Since the celebration of "Christmas" is not mentioned in the Bible, who put Christ in Christmas to begin with?
If men put Christ in Christmas, then men should be able to seperate Christ from Christmas if they wish.
In Matthew 21:25, Jesus asked, "The baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?”
Similar to this, I would like to ask, "The celebration of Christmas as a RELIGIOUS holiday - where is it from? From heaven (God) or from men?"
If it is from God, then we should be able to find it taught in God's word, the Bible. The things we do in religion should be by that authority (Colossians 3:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Timothy 4:1-4).
We should follow God's word in religious matters! If the Bible says it, that settles it. We have no right to tamper with it.
If however, the celebration of Christmas as Christ's birth is simply a tradition of men, then we can change it however we wish (as long as it does not contradict a Biblical teaching), or disregard it completely.
If Christmas is from men, however, and we teach its observance as part of our church doctrine, then we are "teaching as doctrine the commandments of men". Doing that makes our worship "vain", or useless in God's eyes! (Matthew 15:9)
So, the celebration of Christmas, where is it from? From heaven or men?

It's Christmas. You should take the time to write out Jesus' name!
