     Hey, how come nobody posted an answer to the question about
Christmas trees?  I *think* it is a pagan custom from Scandanavia,
left over from when they worshipped trees.  I seem to recall that
Scandanavians used to put evergreen trees on top of their houses for
good luck or to ward off evil spirits or something.  Anyone else
know for sure?
