Why is it that "New" Christian sects get all freaky about 'Christ and Christmas" ?

Not a whole lot different than retreading "God Save the Queen" into "My Country Tis of Thee."

Yeah. We have a long history of murdering, torturing and otherwise persecuting a lot of people for not being able to sing "My Country Tis of Thee." We also ignored 6 the deaths of millions of people in the holocaust because they didn't sing it like we do. We should acknowledge that we're just stupid, we stole the song and our version is a horrible distortion of the original that's not worthy to be sung.

How embarrassing for all Americans to even be associated with such a song!

Your logic frightens and confuses me.

I've always wondered what made a pagan ceremony. I mean, why is christmas different than a druid dance at stonehenge?

Because the purpose of Christmas is to sit around for days on end trying to eat up all of the perishables that wouldn't have kept in the cellar to be used through the coldest months, and fattening up for the winter.
Dancing would be counterproductive.
