People abbreviate Christmas as Xmas. I feel that, for consistency, it should be Xian, rather than Xtian, but Xtian seems to be the standard.

Incidentally, I enjoy that you used the slur "Christain." alt.atheism?

When I see the string "Xian", I read it as a Chinese word, and it sounds completely unlike "Christian". This is a problem.

Same, here. It's really just the consistency I like about it. Or we could switch to Xtmas.
