  Christmas tree has it's roots in Pagan traditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule

    That is still religious.

      Doing something that has religious roots doesn't automatically make it religious. The question is: what are you getting out of it? We're setting up a (now fake) tree during holidays, but treat it as tradition and a nice decoration for winter. Another example: Halloween.

        > Doing something that has religious roots doesn't automatically make it religious That's our point right

          That's not how I read the "That is still religious." comment to which I was responding.

  Christmas Trees are something coopted by Christianity and are pagan in origin. Also there's very little about baby Jesus in 'Here comes Santa Claus' or 'Frosty the Snowman'

  I mean, I hear Christmas music if I go outside, but I don't actively do it. And I can't remember the last time we've had a Christmas tree. To me, Christmas is mostly about giving gifts, eating (especially chocolates) and watching TV.
