Pagans will cling to pagan traditions...this will not change.. In fact, it may increase.
The question is "What will happen if Christians don't perpetuate the celebration of our Saviors arrival, death and resurrection"?

Pagans will cling to pagan traditions...this will not change.. In fact, it may increase.That may indeed be true but IF these former pagans still clinged to their traditions and rituals what good did it do?
I dont think many Christians even know what they are truly celebrating on Christmas now.
Its not the birth of Christ, if it is, they are making a total mockery of his birth.
The day has now turned in a commercial retail holiday, in which Santa Claus is greater than Jesus and these same merchants that dont care and probably dont even believe in Jesus have no problem selling Christians all sorts of junk, making them rich, and sending them into debt they will probably be paying off til the next Xmas, and all this sales on on the basis of a lie of Jesus birthday being Dec 25th.
Merry Christmas will probably offend or get a person almost fired from their job, and a nativity scene is almost pretty much a no now adays.
You may be correct, however, our tree has an angel at the top and the theme is of the birth of Christ.Christmas trees, Elves, reindeer, a fat man going down your chimney, mistletoe, and yule logs have zero to do with Christ and are all based on Pagan sungod worship, yet many Christians that claim the day is about Jesus for them, all have some or all of these symbols as part of their Christmas celebration.
Starting to think God probably hates our modern day Christmas.
The problem with this analogy is that Christmas and the spirit of Christmas are of the devil - Jesus actually operated in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn't involved with a pagan/Satanic holiday such as Christmas.

That’s not what Christmas is about.Celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - celebrating the spirit of giving - are from the devil???? Not in my book
That’s not what Christmas is about.
In the Orthodox Church we call it "Christouyenna" which means "Birth of Christ" and that is what we celebrate, Christ's birth. Traditionally the exchanging of gifts is not something we do on that day, but rather on the feast day of St Basil on 1st of January, remembering the generosity of the Saint and also a great miracle which occurred when he was bishop of Caesarea.That’s not what Christmas is about.
That’s not what Christmas is about.
Christmas, just like Easter, is all about worshipping the sun, which is Satan worship in disguise.Please enlighten me. What is Christmas all about?
Again, I agree. No matter what, people associate Christmas with Christ to different degrees. This holiday and Easter are the best chance that we have to show God’s love to other and to show God in us.Pagans will cling to pagan traditions...this will not change.. In fact, it may increase.

How does one show God’s love through a satanic holiday?Again, I agree. No matter what, people associate Christmas with Christ to different degrees. This holiday and Easter are the best chance that we have to show God’s love to other and to show God in us.
As Christians bite each other’s noses off to be right, maybe lacking humility, in not seeing that God’s will can be done through these holidays, and we can speak to or honor God with our words, actions and deeds bringing Him glory.
If people put in half the effort to do God’s Work throughout this season as they do to debate and see themselves right. God’s Kingdom would indeed move forward during these dates.
Every year this same thread and those like it pop up in December. Every year.
Do you think that God is weak? In a church that is singing praises to His name, retelling the story of Christ's birth even acting out the events... you think that this is Satanic?How does one show God’s love through a satanic holiday?
That’s called “lipstick on a pig”.Do you think that God is weak? In a church that is singing praises to His name, retelling the story of Christ's birth even acting out the events... you think that this is Satanic?
