Oh so sorry but I'm not buying the line that the Devil is tricking Christians into accidentally worshipping false gods by celebrating these holidays (which appears to be the main thrust of the article).

For one, any act - whether sinful or holy - is made so by the intent of the person who performs it. So if one person is celebrating the birth of Christ at Christmas - and they put their tree up along with their advent wreath - then that is what they are doing. Worshipping the Divine as they encounter it in their life.

By the same token, a pagan who celebrates the turning of the year at the same time, and does it by bringing in greenery and lighting candles and feasting, is also worshipping the Divine as they encounter it in their life. As defined by their intent.

The Divine is an awesomely huge mystery...who are we to think that any of us might have a monopoly on that truth?

By the way, the season of commercialism and false-seeking-of-happiness-though-material-goods is no more pagan than it is christian. It's a non-spiritual behaviour and should not be falsely ascribed to any spiritual tradition.
