ETA: But I shouldn't be derailing this thread. Christmas Trees are great. I never had a real one growing up, but my wife started that tradition for us, and I love it. I'm pro live trees for all.

I do, however, need someone to explain the Easter Bunny to me as a component of a religious holiday. or, hell, Santa Claus“There’s no normal life, Wyatt, it’s just life. Get on with it.” – Doc Holliday

While I understand why they would feel that way, I am not in agreement with them. I would not argue with them, but I would also not let that opinion rob us of some Christmas fun.
My favorite Santa in our collection is the Santa kneeling before baby Jesus. Kind of puts the whole thing in perspective for us.
