Big freakin' deal. The fact of the matter is that they are still overtly Christian. Isn't renaming pagan celebrations similar to putting new wine into old skins? Using pagan deities and symbols with new 'Christian' names hardly replaces the old spiritual aspects of those celebrations.
You seem to advocate using 'liberty' to practice paganism.

Jesus Christ is a pagan deity?
and symbols
Many symbols that exist today are pagan in origin. It gets kind of hard to find a truly unique symbol. Hell, the wedding ring and the days of our week are pagan in origin.

Yes it does, because it's more than just a name change.
