And how does that change the celebration called "Christmas" that westerners have celebrated every December 25th going back more than a millennium? Does that somehow make it a less legitimate part of our heritage and culture?

If we're agreed that Christmas derives from "traditions of men", then is it possible that devotion to it might divert us from keeping the commandments of God? Is it not written that "YOUR new moons and YOUR appointed feasts my soul hateth...?" (Isaiah 1:14). See also 1 John 5:2,3.
