1Co 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
1Co 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

By allowing oneself to reject certain practices (not immoral ones), one give a measure of power to it and some legitimacy to the non-existent gods.
there is no power in meat sacrificed to idols, there is no power in a Christmas tree. If it offends a person, do not do it, just as Paul recommends.

Once again, eating meat is different then partaking with pagan customs. Idols are real and demons behind them.
