He certainly never gave instructions to anyone to take pagan practices and call them Christian, as some method to win more converts. Any way I look at it, celebrating Christmas as a Christian holiday blatently goes against God's Word.

God doesn't have a birthday, but Jesus does.
And, to follow this line of reasoning, in our churches we sing songs to music that originated in worldly environments. Many of the songs we sing and dance and shout to are sung to blues and jazz music.
We also sing songs that were written by trinitarians.
Where do we draw the line?
