Shouldn't it be "an" xmas tree?

  Depends on if you intend it to be read as "Christmas" or "EX" mas. :)

  Xmas is pronounced "Christmas" by most people.

  Technically abbreviating "Christ" as "X" is actually the letter χ or "Chi". So it shouldn't be pronounced X-mas, as it's really χ-mas. Same thing with LaTeχ, actually.

    The capital Chi is Χ, which is indistinguishable from X in most fonts, and even more so in handwriting.

      Yes, I was using the lowercase to make it stand out.

    LaTeChi?

      I had a Prof who insisted in pronouncing it LaTech.
