Fairies on Christmas trees

Aerkuld · Aerkuld's Garage

There tend to be three main things with which one can decorate the tops of Christmas trees. Stars and Angels are obvious, but Fairies....

Why?

I'm guessing it's a carry over from some other celebration that has been taken over by Christmas.

Does anybody have a good explaination?

Well Christmas is derived from pagan origin..

Furthermore what does Santa have to do with the birth of Jesus Christ?

Pagans are cool.

Nothing. Santa is not a Christian part of Christmas. Neither is a Christmas tree, snowmen, candy canes or gifts. These are all secular parts of the holiday we call Christmas.

My hardcore Baptist in-laws have a Santa Claus on the top of their tree. In fact, none of the decorations in/on their house have any religious significance at all. I thought that was interesting.

Heck, even I have a star...

Because fairies like taking it up the rear?

Okay... I'm bad, sorry.
