If I have, I don't exalt in it. I would rather they learn, as I believe that I have that God judges based on our hearts, our thoughts, our experiences, and our motivations. (Which is why we can never ever judge another person, because we are seriously lacking the big picture!).
You have two people... One is a wiccan/pagan, and they celebrate the holidays that we call Thanksgiving and Christmas as harvest festivals, or the winter solstice, and they chant and make offerings to pagan Gods.
You have another person, a Christian, and on Thanksgiving they get together with family, and eat turkey and stuffing, and show gratitute towards God for all the blessings in their life. And on Christmas they celebrate the amazing fact that God so badly wanted a relationship with us, that he became one of us, to ultimately save us. And they decorate their house, and eat cookies, and sing carols and rejoice with their families.
I just don't honestly see how the two people can be judged as both celebrating "pagan" holidays.
