Christmas is pagan.
Hanukkah is pagan.
Thanksgiving Day is pagan.
Your momma might be pagan, but that doesn't make any of those statements either true or false. There are no primary sources on the origins of Christmas. None. I like to leave certainty about things that cannot be known by any means available to ordinary people to the prophets.
We can, however, look at circumstantial evidence and draw reasonable conclusions. In my opinion, the weight of evidence points to a majority pagan origin for Christmas and a majority non-pagan origin for Hanukkah. Thanksgiving Day pagan? This is me giving you a squinty side-eye on that one....
Whatever you conclude about these things, just be very careful about accusing "the brethren" based on shadowy circumstantial evidence.
Here are more of my thoughts on the matter. Take them or leave them...

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are."
#genesis 41:39 #mikeitz
Wisdom requires knowledge and experience, but most of all, it requires a good relationship and communication channel with God. There is more wisdom in the Voice of God than in all the sages, books, and experiences in all the world.
Part 13 --- OUR DEBTS --- Responsibility
This revelation includes our debts, our responsibilities and our actions. There is responsibility in prayer. That’s a part of prayer. You can’t pray without knowing your responsibilities. You’re responsible before YHVH to live a holy life. Elohim looks upon us as we pray and knows we are responsible before Him.
Part 12 --- FORGIVE US --- Repentance
Here Adonai goes from our specific needs and our dependence on Him to repentance. Prayer ought to always have repentance. Forgive us our debts. Confession and forgiveness should be a daily function in people’s lives. This is illustrated by the priests in the Old Covenant who did not wear shoes in YHVH’s presence. This was YHVH’s way of reminding them that they were touching dirt every day and that’s why Yeshua said in John 13:10, "He said to him, he who has had a bath does not need to wash, except his feet, but is clean altogether. And you are clean but not all of you". We must say “Adonai, we repent of the things we have done.” We need a daily cleansing. Repentance must be a part of prayer; otherwise prayer cannot be affective. Each day we come to Elohim and we say, “Adonai cleanse me, Adonai forgive me.” Forgive us our debts.
