Christmas comes to us from the middle ages. The Catholic church wanted to replace the pagan celebrations with Christian ones so they used the days that the pagans were all ready using and made them into Christian holidays. December 25th was a pagan holiday of the Winter solace. The word "Christmas" is really Christ Mass, and the people had 3 masses a day on Christmas Day. There were no gifts nor decorated trees. Evergreens were brought in, even by the pagans, but they weren't used as Christmas trees.
