Yes, but it's still Christmas, and is still to celebrate the birth of Christ. The original pagan festival was nothing to do with Christ, so when they Christians took it over, they changed the whole reason for the festival. Capitalism may be exploiting the festival, but the reason for having it is still Christian.
