Best Answer

Xmas, a shortened version of Christmas, is a Christian celebration to commemorate the birth of Jesus. People outside of the Christian religion are known to celebrate the event as well, probably to fit in within a Chrisitan dominated society, but put focus on non-religious festivities such as meals with friends and family or the handing out of gifts. Christmas festivities are also known to contain Pagan rituals as well, such as the burning of the yule log and the decoration of an evergreen tree amongst others.
