That is a matter of perspective. To Christians, changing Christmas to X-mas or in any other way is like taking the meaning of Christmas away, which is the most important reason it should not be changed. To others, changing the word might not really matter.

Should people change the word Christmas?

That is a matter of opinion. If people want to use Xmas when they write, it is acceptable, though a little offensive to some people. If people want to call a tree a "holiday" tree instead of "Christmas" tree or say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Happy (or merry) Christmas", it is their personal choice. Other than that, there aren't too many ways to change the word Christmas, other than renaming the holiday, and to me that should not be done.
