Why do we have Christmas Trees anyway? In a small nutshell its a Pagan (nature, moon and sun worshipers) tradition, people put them up at winter solstice to honor nature. When Christians hijacked the "Christmas"date and converted the Pagans to Christianity, they kept the tree tradition to make the transition into Christianity easier. Most historians put the birth of Christ sometime in August according the stars they saw in the sky that night. Mistletoe is a pagan thing too, the berries literally symbolize a mans balls and mistletoe was hung to promote fertility, so I guess they thought the kisses would lead to a whole lot more. Merry Christmas!
