OK first of all, yes it is everyone’s preference, but to the OP…saying Christ (yemach shmo) is really inappropriate. As is acting as though Hashem is going to strike down on you if you say Christmas instead of Xmas. Especiallly those who live in the real world, in America ( not saying those are synonymous), but it is appropriate if you are greeted by someone you know is non-jewish to wish them a Merry Christmas. Yeshu was a Jew, Christianity formed itself AFTER his death. Yes it was his followers but he himself did not actually branch off and form his own religion. Saying Adolf hitler yemach shmo i think everyone can agree on, but Christ? …Not as much.
