Synagogues are not mentioned in the Old Testament, when the Jews started practicing them they were their own invention.
The same with Christmas.
The point is not that Christmas is equivalent to synagogues. The point is your idea that for something to be an acceptable practice it must be mentioned in the Bible is false. Synagogues were not mandated by God in his word, yet Jesus honored their usage.
Note, I'm not necessarily defending Christmas, though I could. I'm saying your argument that Christmas is not valid because it is not in the Bible is itself invalid. The example of synagogues proves that.
