@Tastyfrzz Those things survived despite christianity, not because of it.
The christmas tree was introduced by Prince Albert and came from Teutonic tree worship, which predates christianity. We had other forms of tree worship too, such as the ancient ceremony of "wassailing".
Easter (various spellings) is the name of the Spring Goddess and the egg is symbolic of new life as the Earth awakens from Her Winter slumber.
