Iconography meaning can change over time and some things have many meanings. Heck, many even think the cross symbol was co-opted from elsewhere, but its current meaning is quite clearly Christian. Cultures borrow from other cultures all the time and make those things their own. Christmas has clearly become its own thing, important to different people for different reasons. And I'm okay with this. It's a holiday that can be many things to many people.
