I think there is some truth in your saying. Once the conifer branch is cut and after a day it becomes a dead wood But, it is coming as a tradition. Bringing the entire family under a tree is a great idea It is this idea that has to be viewed with appreciation. A sense of togetherness is involved in decorating the Christmas tree. No doubt the tree will be decorated with many other items also. But, one has to honor and appreciate the interest shown in decorating the tree
Even in the Hindu religion, there is a similar tradition. Here the people worship an AMLA tree during KARTIKA MASAM
They actually have to worship the Amla tree lighting a lamp under it. All relatives are invited and they dine as a group sitting under a tree
During Kartika Poornima, it will be followed very meticulously. They name it VANABHOJAN.
But, in cities, it is possible to perform such activity.
So, most of the people purchase a branch of Amla Tree and place it in the prayer hall. They light a lamp under it. They arrange all food items under it. Sit around it and dine along with all the invited guests. After the ritual the branch has little value and it will be thrown out.-
Christmas tree has no religious significance but it is more a tradition.

Christmas is one of the most important religious ceremony on earth because it reminds all of us Jesus Christ’s arrival and departure from this fickle world. In modern age every religious ceremony has become the part of old tradition and lost its religious spirit due to our materialistic thoughts.
We must ponder over the importance of Christmas Tree reveals the mysterious death of Jesus Christmas. I think all religious festivals must be made with full pomp and show to make alive the dead spirit of religion all over the world.

Christmas is the day to celebrate the birth of Christ and I am not sure if the tree has anything to do with religion per se.

Christmas Tree is part of Christmas celebration, Since the birth Jesus Christ is wonderful in which the wise men came to worship Jesus Christ as the savior of the world.Jesus was being honor by these people. I think by raising Christmas trees, we are honoring the birth of our Lord Jesus Chris.
He came to die for us, the raising of this Christmas tree is more than tradition -
I totally agree with you..I enjoy this time of the year. It seems like no matter how bad your years been Christmas always puts joy in everyone’s heart and puts a smile on there face and best of all brings the family together. Don’t you just love it!!!

Sorry to hear about your father but I am sure he will be happy if you continued the tradition. And as for relatives that drift is felt the world over.

It is time to thank God through our Lord Jesus Christ who had accepted to died for our sin and rose again on the third day, so raising the Christmas tree because we are celebrate the the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be doing.
Any living soul who know the important of Christ’s coming to this world will raise Christmas tree for Him-
@timothy I understand and believe Jesus was sent here to die for my sins. You mention Christmas tree for Him being born. Wouldn’t a Christmas tree be better suited for Easter in your line of reasoning as it would signify the wood of the cross that He dies on for our sins? I do have a Christmas tree put up and do it for the Christmas spirit. But am trying to understand your argument

A thought has just crossed my mind why do people put up Christmas trees and decorate them? I know I am one of those people because it was a family tradition during Christmas to cut a tree and get it into the house then decorate it with all sorts of ornaments. Come to think of it we never really use to think about thedudus or aunts for those who may not understand dudus. I remember my brothers going around theestate looking out for a nice tree that they would cut down and bring to the house regardless of whether they had ants or not. Anyway at least I can say that we never had any issues with the ants they were clean trees. Once the tree was in the housewe would go out of our way to decorate it with lights and cotton wool to bring out the feeling of snow, the little balls and the star on the top of the tree. Back in the days having a Christmas tree was a big deal so if you didn’t have that would make you feel like Christmas will not be nice. So it was like a mandatory thing back in the days. Nowadays this things are not so much in people’s minds.

Christmas is one of the major religious gala of the followers of Jesus Christ but people clever priests has turned it into mere a tradition and thus Muslim Eid, Hindus’ religious festival and Christian’s Christmas all have lost it religious spirit in broader sense. Hollow hearts are making religious festival all over the world that is why moral sins are prevailing on earth all over the world.

There is one good thing that Christmas is responsible for and that it brings together friends and family
