Please be my guest to offer more information that shows that pagans copied the early Christians as the date of Dec 25th. Your article writer never does that.

I'll see if I can dig more information up on the subject.
However, let's assume you're right and the date is purely pagan. Christians aren't a passive group of scared children running from shadows. We've got a mandate to take spiritual ground for Christ. That means taking all things under the dominion of Christ. Paul wrote....
Romans 14:4-6
4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?
