The Christmas tree has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ...it is NOT mentioned in the Bible...nor has Christianity 'ever' stressed having a Christmas tree placed there in order to worship the birth of Jesus Christ.
You're grasping for straws that don't exist.

This is unreal.
It is irrelevant if it was mentioned in the bible or not. It is now part of the Christian celebration known as Christmas. It's not a goddamn coincidence it's called Christmas tree. It's not a coincidence that they happen to be put up at this time of year. It's part of this celebration, is it not? And being a part of this Christian celebration, how can it not be a Christian symbol. It's not a part of anything else. It's not just a random object.
The funny thing about all this is that those who are saying "it's got nothing to do with Christmas" would be the same ones bitching about someone calling it a "Holiday Tree".
