Integrated with - means syncretism - which means mixing the things of God with the ideas of man - or more simply put satan.
25th December comes not from germanic/nordic but from Babylon and the 'sun god' mythras/saturnalia. It celebrates the rebirth of the sun following the winter solstice.
Try looking at it this way - you once had a lover but along came the man you really loved and he became your husband, You said to him I'm so used to celebrating my former lover's birthday on x date, and I know yours is not that but I'm so used to x date I don't want to change - is that all right?
Does this respect your new husband?
Now swap former lover for satan and of course Jesus is you new husband. So by celebrating Jesus birth on 25th December your are in fact saying to Jesus I'm still in love with satan. You cannot mix the two, the Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) have a law against wearing garments of two materials, Jesus later said you cant worship God and Mammon (satan) .
Christmas is a time which plays to our emotions and senses - but it satan worship and is deeply embedded into the church life. So what is the Christian to do? Breaking is hard both on our flesh and friendships! There is a mid-winter feast in the Bible - the Feast of Rededication which celebrates the rededication of the Jerusalem temple following its desecration by the erection of a statue of Zeus and sacrificing a pig on the altar. Following rededication the temple candle remained lit for 8 days without being refilled - a miracle. The Jews call this Hanukah and it occurs late November to late December (you can find information on line) Jesus celebrated it see John 10:22-23.
It also called 'the season of our joy' and 'season of light' There is probably a deeper meaning here - Jesus is the light of the world, and our joy comes from Him. It is likely that this is when He was incarnated into Mary's womb. That would place His birth in September!
Some clarifications, I hope:
