Christmas has become a festivial of sin. Lets have a look at the list of sins that are practice with it.
Lying:- Little childern are told that Santa Claus is readl.
Idol worship:- Santa Claus again.
Enevy:- wanting you've little brothers/sisters toy etc etc or your best girlfriend got a better gift from her boyfriend than you.
Overeating / over drinking, Sloth in front of the TV all day.

By calling it Christmas, they can than make believe that its okay, or at least a forgivable sin.

First of all, I think you have a very skewed view of what people do on Christmas. I've never met or heard of anyone "worshipping" Santa Claus, lol. Who cares if people over eat or over drink It's suppose to be a time of celebration with friends and family, isn't it? Your question just sounds like a bunch bs coming from someone that apparently thinks everyone is fat, stupid and/or lazy.
As far as giving it back to the Pagans. As a Pagan/Wiccan, I can assure you that we don't want it. We have our own holidays that we're quite happy with. If people want to believe that a lot of things they celebrate on their holidays doesn't come from us, then so be it. That's their own personal issue, not ours. If they want to be educated they'll research what they're doing before they choose to do it. BTW, none of things that you listed have anything to do with Paganism/Wicca. My mother (a Christian) "lied" to me about Santa. I (a Wicca) do not. I could care less what I get in the way of presents. I believe that has more to do with the fact that I'm a mature adult, not a five year old child that hasn't learned any better yet.
So, what other excuses do you have left to breed ignorance and intolerance?

Yes, don't forget the gifts, that is a clear sign of paganism. The tree, and the presents underneath, again, paganism. It is also bad to hold so much honor for december 25th, that is another Greek/ pagan holiday, started by Constantine.
It is ok, though, to give gifts that are not overly extravagant to loved ones, get together wit hfrineds and family and praise God for allowing Jesus to die for our sins, as well as remembering Jesus' birth.
It all just has to be done the right way and remember that we are not doing it in the name of paganism. Do you agree ?

Yes.
But in the northern hemisphere pagans share xmas/Yule with the christians celebrating xmas.
But in the southern hemisphere pagans celebrate yule in june.
Its a seasonal thing.
But I guess all those in Australia celebrating xmas in June or having Yule in June are also now celebrating when pagans do. They just don't know it.

Ok, learn to touch-type. Stop doing the hunt-and-peck technique, as it causes you to not look at your computer screen and causes a lot of typos.
Anyway, Christmas is now a holiday for anybody. It's all fricking trees and presents and no mention of Jesus. They should just call it Xmas, as it no longer has much to do wtih Christ. What do you mean, give it back to the Pagans? They already have it.

It doesn't *belong* to anyone to give away or "keep". It is a date that people choose to celebrate. Whomever wants to celebrate the holiday can certainly do so and for their own reason, be it the birth of Jesus, or the winter solstice. What's your motive here?

Give yourself back to pagans because that's what you think.
Lying about Santa? or teaching children in their small mind to have hope and faith in their young ages that there is somebody who give and not receive only.
Idol worship? nobody kneel to Santa or pray for him. that's bad assumption.
Envy? wow your family and yourself have evil mind. Just be content of what you get.
Over eating/ over drinking etc? is that what you see in your family? Wow you are really a pagan. That's your experience. Fish always catch in the mouth.
