People are taking Christ out of Christmas mainly do to political correctness.
That is " due. "
To be perfectly correct, Christ was put into Christmas. This day was the celebration of the winter solstice long before Christianity came along.

∙ 12y agoFor some reason, there are people who are offended by Christianity and thus, Christmas. Some are very vocal about their objections to the word Christmas, while those who approve of its use are quiet. It seems to be a case of whoever speaks out the loudest being the one who gets what they want.
For example, a few years back Walmart stopped allowing their employees to tell customers "Merry Christmas," They could say "Happy Holidays," but nothing that had to do with Christmas. That received a major backlash from customers. The following year, employees were once again allowed to tell customers "Merry Christmas." Usually, though. those who approve of Christmas are not that vocal.
Another consideration is "political correctness." It is just no longer "politically correct" for Christianity to be a part of United States' society.

You took Christ out of Christmas. You took Christ out of the church. What will you take him from next?
Some people use an X in Christmas, because it is a variation on how Christ is spelled in the Greek language. As far as though people who want Christmas to be Only about Santa Claus and Easter to be Only about the Easter Bunny, then you just have to accept the fact that there are people who want to get something for nothing. You be a Christian and Know that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ [with Santa Clause (St. Nicholas) a nice symbol]. You be a Christian and Know that Easter is about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Easter Bunny is also another nice symbol.

What does the X on X-mas mean?
It is just an abbreviation of Christmas, and it was created by people that didn't believe in Christ and Decided to X out Christ in CHRISTmas.Which in my opinion is ridiculous, considering that the reason people celebrate Christmas is to celebrate Christ's birth. Another view point... In ancient Christian art χ and χρ are abbreviations for Christ's name. In many manuscripts of the New Testament and icons, X is an abbreviation for Christos, as is XC (the first and last letters in Greek, using the lunate sigma). The X stands for Christ so it's not quite taking the christ out of christmas..... Oh... I never knew that!! Thats really cool :D If thats the case, then.... why do some people say "xmas" is taking the christ out of christmas?
