Why not? X is a fairly common (and old - therefore correct =P) symbol for the name Christ. |
Old? how old? Since when?
How much longer does it take to type out 5 more letters as opposed to one (don't answer that)
I'm just totally against the whole idea of shortening words just to accomodate the lazy people from typing, which is why I hate SMSes.

The word "Christ" and its compounds, including "Christmas", have been abbreviated in English for at least the past 1,000 years, long before the modern "Xmas" was commonly used. "Christ" was often written as "XP" or "Xt"; there are references in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as far back as AD 1021.

I type Xmas all the time, shorter and way easier to type. And neither means anything to me, so not a loss anyway

Thanks for clearing that up :) See, I never knew that.
I really do enjoy learning something new everyday.
