In some circles, calling Christmas "Xmas" is an issue to get all hot and bothered over. Some think this is "taking Christ out of Christmas."
So... Is this is case?
Not really.
Xmas can certainly refer to Christmas due to the first Greek letter in the word Christos (the anointed one). It is from this term we get the word Christ.
If anything the X is just an abbreviation and not one to get flustered over... Unless very minor forms of time efficiency get under your skin.
