What scholars aren't divided on, is that Xmas is Western/Eastern Roman practice. Just as icons, statutes, beads, and veneration of saints is part of the Western/Eastern Roman Church so is Xmas. The issue isn't really paganizing the church, it is about Romanizing the church. Still waiting to see where the apostles introduced celebrations for baby Jesus.
