It takes just take a couple of seconds to write the word CHRISTMAS, please do not save time on "CHRIST" (MAS) by writing "X" (MAS). In Hebrews the word "X" means "6". Did God send his only begotten son on earth to save us from eternal damnation to be addressed as "6"MAS? CHRIST gave his life for us so that we may be saved and its a pity that we are unable to spare a few seconds to write his name with pride as 'CHRIST"MAS. (CHRIST as MAN AND SAVIOUR). My humble, request please stop writing as X'MAS and also do not encourage yourselves in buying cards with the words X'MAS, but make sure you give CHRIST HIS rightful name, which is the name above all names, that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that 'JESUS CHRIST IS LORD". Make room for CHRIST this and every Christmas. GOD BLESS U ALL AND WISH YOU ABUNDANT BLESSINGS FOR THE SEASON.

I used to think writing X mas was wrong, but I read that the word Christos (Christ in Greek?) is sometimes spelled Xristos. So, in Greek the X is an abbreviation for Christ. So, it's not the Hebrew form but the Greek form that's being used.
