Actually, Christmas was stolen from pagans when it was known as Yule when church decided to destroy every trace of paganism in the world.
Tradition was to bring the designated tree inside and decorate it with food so the spirits of the forest can have a warm winter and so they wouldn't be hungry.

We need more Christ in Christmas these days. the older I get the fewer gifts we buy and focus more on family and Christ and his birth...whenever it may have been

TheRealClaymore, That's because they speak German in Germany not English... It still originated in Germany, that doesn't change due to translation.

The Christmas tree originated from the Celtic and the druids they used to dance around and decorate with fruits and other forest foliage.. also ribbons.. The Christians stole this idea and merged it into its own ideas and believes

Queen Victoria first brought the concept to Britain apparently.

Technically, celebrating Christmas, the cross, the ark of the covenant, shroud of Turin or any object or day is irrelevant. If you believe, it's the teachings that matters, all else is convenient reminders of what we should be doing. We shouldn't confuse the actions of the churches vs Christ.

On the list of edible decorations , add popcorn on a string as snowy garlands!!

Lori, God is the owner of time, therefore on any date his birth can be celebrated. The thing is not when he was born, but how we celebrate his birth, which we must do with sincere devotion.
Lori
Nosferatu, Jesus was not born on Christmas Day. No one knows the date of his birth. It’s not even in the Bible of the day that he was born as a literal date written.

The original winter celebration trees were the pines of the Grove of Diana in ancient Rome. They were hung with oranges and nuts during the winter celebrations.
