When advent starts-this year that is Dec. 2, 2007.
In the US, Christmas trees are traditionally topped with a star or an angel.
We are divided into 2 groups: the Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans and modern Orthodox - on one side, and the traditionalist Orthodox - on the other. The latter (the Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians) do not acknowledge the new calendar, therefore they continue to celebrate Christmas two weeks later (January the 7th). Traditionally, we decorate our trees on Christmas Eve, but modern life has made us move forward the date by one, two, three days (a week, at the most).
Of course! In some countries its just a different date

Some Russians do put up trees for Christmas.
1.Because it is the basic theme and probably to put an angel that represents Jesus. 2. Christmas trees will make Christmas seem bright and not dull.
