The Bible does not recognize the birth of Christ as being in December or tell Christians to celebrate the birth of Christ. The Bible tells Christians to NOT decorate a Yule log, to NOT put gold and silver on trees, do NOT water down the faith by bending it to paganism, but here you are suggesting Christianity is just rehashing pagan ways.

The only thing Jesus told his disciples to do for remembrance is to celebrate the "Lord's supper" when two or more assemble, and that was to remember the sacrifice he made of his blood and body. That's it. There's no reason to celebrate his birth on earth unless one wants to.
That's not true. It doesn't say either to do it or not to do it. These are pagan observances, but their original symbolic intent has been forgotten, and they've been repurposed as tangential folk celebrations. Some of it has to do with the very real enjoyment some people have of celebrating the winter solstice on the shortest day of the year. Some of it has to do with family and friends gathering at the beginning of winter.
I agree with you, though, that as long as these things don't water down the faith, making it about "season's greeting" (a jew phrase, used to avoid mentioning Christmas or Jesus) or nonsense like Santa Claus, reindeer, pretty trees, and the like instead of in remembrance of Jesus's birth, it seems harmless.

Jeremiah 10:2-5
Thus says the LORD:
“ Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the peoples are futile;
For one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
They decorate it with silver and gold;
They fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
They are upright, like a palm tree,
And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
And, there are others.
But yes, do it as a secular celebration. Most Christians have no issue with that. Even holloween or easter.

The Hebrew scriptures are for jews only. They don't apply to Christians.

When the Bible says "don't do it", no amount of "Christians" doing it, makes it Christian.

This is exactly what is done to a Christmas tree. There certainly is no biblical relation to Christ or his birth to any such tree or actions.
And, what makes it objectionable is that when you start doing these things, people go overboard, and the message gets lost. Look at the excesses with regard to Christmas lights, Christmas trees, the gifts under the trees, Christmas dinner, the expectations, the disappointments, etc.
In this very specific case, "keeping up with the Jones'" isn't about who is celebrating Christ more, it's about who decorates their house better, who decorates their tree(s) better, who gets the best or most gifts. The largesse of Christmas dinner. Christmas for most people isn't even a consideration of Christianity or the faith. At best they go to church for a few hours in between opening presents, eating dinner, watching nigger ball, partying, etc.

No. Christianity has nothing to do with pagans, and there was a time, when you'd be killed for trying to push paganism onto a Christian.

Also most Christians do have a Christmas tree, wreaths and other original pagan iconographic concepts during the Christ-mass and the ‘not birthday’ of jesus.

No, nigger, it has not. The Bible makes it very clear that Christians are to NOT do those things. Additionally, the Bible says that the Apostate church will attempt to water down the faith by doing those things and that we should resist the church doing those things.
The blending of paganism into Christianity to make heathens feel better about being filthy animals is prophesy and a warning. Usually part of a jew led subversive effort to destroy Christianity.
