Christmas is not a Christian Festival

Anyone any thoughts on the notion that Christmas is not a Christian festival at all . . and is in fact based on a pagan mid-winter feast of consumption of food and drink.? Now I am not a religious person but I happen to know that Santa is not mentioned in the bible very often . . . nor is the custom of bringing outdoor trees into your home and sticking a ballerina on top (how surreal is that if you stop to think about it?!).

For how many people is the Christmas season religious in any way? Precious few . . its all shopping, drink, presents, food, drink, decorations, drink, parties, drink, family gatherings, drink, holidays, office fun, drink, movies, music, plasma screens and perfume . . . . . and drink.
