Technically...Christmas started as a pagan holiday that just got Christianity put into. Pagan's have always celebrated a Yule or Winter Solstice type holiday. Yule log (Pagan), Christmas Tree (Pagan...only wasn't called a Christmas, you know), Wreaths (Pagan), etc.

Personally Christmas is a little too commercial now...it's kind of pathetic that the "Christmas" season starts when the shopping starts. No matter what you believe in the holiday kinda sucks now.
