Well technically Christmas is a Religeous (christian) Holiday that originayes from the early 14th Century, and is a compound word which means Christ-Mass relating to the fact of Jesus Christs Birth, though some maintain a belief that it was sometime in January or March though no one really know for certain. and Santa Clause or Saint Nicholas as his original name was is originally a legend of an extremely kind and generous person who gave gifts to the poor, maintaining the Christian belief which is to help those in need and to protect widows and orphans, Chirstmas trees on the other hand are actually believed to be a pagan belief, surrounding the Winter Solitice which was a part of Worshiping the Tree Gods according to a Scholar of the early 3rd century. it was first introduced in Britain in the 18th Century by the Wife of King George the Third, Queen Charlotte who introduced it from Germany. though many argue that Martin Luther actually brought the Christmas to England in the 16th Century though this is unknown to be true. Holly decorations are believed to attain to the crown of thworns worn upon Christ head, and the red of the Holly berries relate to the Blood of Christ which came from his side, and so on.
