Just for reference for hypersensitive Christians: the "X" in Xmas is actually the Greek letter "chi." It's the first letter of Christ in Greek, and has been used as an monogram for Jesus for well over a millennium.
If you check out a Chrismon tree, you'll probably see several on there, as well as on paraments, vestments, stone carvings, chancel furniture, ancient cathedrals, and some 6th century tombstones.
