Pagan symbols at Christmas?

I keep hearing some Christians saying that there are too many pagan symbols around at Christmas. They say that the tree, the parties and the presents are, as all good Christians should know, pagan practices.

I look at it this way: When we use pagan symbols in our celebration of Christian events, we are demonstrating the fact that Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. Pagan symbols can be quite appropriate because Christ has conquered, and he who conquers is always free to use the spoils from those who have lost the war.

So when we have Jesus Christ right in the middle of our Christmas parties, it makes a pagan party look like a funeral.
