Our calendar may have pagan connections, but the U.S. Government would have to officially change our calendars. It is too interwoven into our way of life to just say I am going to quit using it and go to another calendar. I Dont advocate Santa teaching

I think people can go into fanatical directions with this.
For example, the days of the week are named after pagan gods. When we speak those words on those days, those who claim it doesn't matter what intent's in the heart. if we do the same action they did, it's false worship to false gods, we are honouring those gods according to some.
