If someone uses the term "agnosticmas", then that person isn't an agnostic. Agnostics believe the "God question" is forever unanswerable. Therefore, the term "Christmas" (in the religious sense, celebration of the nativity) is neither true nor false. This means the term is also neither worthy of saying nor distorting into a shrill one-word commentary like "agnosticmas".
Agnostics don't celebrate Christmas, but by definition they also don't conclusively believe that Christmas is incorrect. An agnostic who twists a term to make a point is taking a definite stand...for atheism. There's no such thing as agnosticmas.
