On an historical note, the term "Christmas Tree", and, indeed, the mid-Winter celebration of Christmas were also exercises in historical and cultural revisionism in their own day.
.
That is, the pre-Christian pagan societies of the Norse and Celts had Winter Solstice festivals, which, among other things, included making gifts to, and the worship of, forest Gods - hence of decorated trees.  The name "Christmas tree" was thus a re-branding of the earlier pagan rites.
.
Yuletide celebrations and Yule logs preceded the adoption of Christianity by a log time.  There weren't a whole lot of fir trees in the mange in Bethlehem ...
.
Even after the adoption of Christianity, apparently the Norse had a habit of worshipping Christ when ashore, but trusting in Thor when at sea.
.
And with that, let us now raise a flagon of hot mead to Odin, Thor, and Freya, that we may meet again in Valhalla.
