It's almost certainly correct to say many Christmas traditions have 
pagan elements. But to make your claim you first need to define 
"paganism" specifically enough to be useful (a controversial subject in 
its own right). And "most" requires at minimum defining how many 
Christmas traditions there are and how one decides whether they are 
"pagan" in origin.
