The abbreviation of Christmas is Xmas.
That is because what we now recognised in the English language as an X was originally the Greek letter "chi".
In the Greek alphabet the letter chi is the first letter of the word Christ and it was used long ago by religious clerics in Christian writings as a kind of shorthand for the word Christ.
So the word Xmas means Christ's Mass in exactly the same way that Christmas does. Xmas should also be pronounced in the same way as Christmas.
