Except the word "Mass" in religious usage means "celebration of the Eucharist" in both Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, with an emphasis on the word "CELEBRATION" (or, alternatively, "a sequence of prayers constituting the Christian Eucharistic rite" or "a musical setting for a Mass"). (http://onelook.com/?w=mass&ls=a or any other competent dictionary) But, what then are Christians celebrating at a Mass or Eucharist, which is something which Jesus Himself commanded that we commemorate (Luke 22:19)? Not the "ceremonial slaying of Jesus Christ over and over again", but that through His death came salvation. Now, if the argument was that the "traditional" Christmas celebration has come to include elements, pagan or otherwise, that are not in line with Jesus' teachings, I would agree.
