lol... oops i meant Laugh Out Loud.
here is the thing. the english language is a thing of beauty. you do not need to be grammatically correct all the time to get the context of the message across. in london alone there are many variations. cockney is the most noticeable.
so when you are talking to someone on the dog and bone (phone) or writing on SOCIAL media or to a friend, where by its not a legal document or a scholars dissertation, you do not need to worry or care about acting like a posh elitist english lecturer.
christmas is not a word that was used 2000 years ago.
infact if what you call jesus christ was alive, he would spell his name משיח יֵשׁוּעַ
so if you want to be precise you would be asking people to say משיח instead of christ.
or if you dont want to be factually accurate to pre-100AD hebrew and want to be a bit closer to english. try Crīstesmæsse which is about 1100AD
oh and what we in english call Christ. is messiah in other languages. so you better start saying messiah mass

It's just like "OK"
OK is the short version of "oll korrect" which was the funny version of "all correct".

So yeah...
Happy Xmas

Happy Xmas
It is understandable when you don't believe in Christ and simply say "Happy Holidays", but you need correction as a believer in Christ if you say "Happy Xmas" instead of "Happy Christmas".
Generally, "X" is a letter used to make an indication that something is unknown, Christ is the reason for the season, so why do you a believer in Christ say "Happy Xmas" instead of "Happy Christmas" when you already know the reason behind the christmas celebration?
Why have you replaced "Christ" with "X"?

People started writing it because it's faster I think and has nothing to do with the Holidays vs Christmas aspect which is PC to include everyone. I don't hear people saying "Happy Xmas" instead of "Merry Christmas" ever though. If people don't want to acknowledge the holiday as a Christian event they typically say "Happy Holidays" with some companies even making employees refer to this time of year only as such. Some people get pretty offended over the entire thing, which I would argue is against the spirit of things, but people will complain about anything if given the opportunity to do so.
