The abbreviation of xmas for Christmas is neither modern nor disrespectful. It's origins lie in the fact that the first letter in the Greek word for Christ is chi and the Greek letter chi is represented by a symbol similar to the letter X in the modern Roman alphabet.

From Snopes.

How ever you say it have a good one.
