And, we know for a fact that no one put up a tree and decorated it, no one sang the "happy birthday" song to Him and none of this was done every year after His birth. Christ gave no command or even an endorsement to celebrate His birth.
He did however command us to observe His death, burial and resurrection in the Lord's supper, "every time we meet."
Notice that the celebration that was instituted by a pagan religion is the one everyone, even the seculars enjoy but almost completely ignore the one Christ commanded.
