Why do people use Christmas instead of Christmas?

Answer 1

"Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "mass", while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".

Answer 2

Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas.

The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass,

while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".

There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas".

Answer 3

Because people that say xmas doesn't believe in Christ.

Trying to take Christ out of Christmas that's not right
