One other thing is that Christmas really means the Mass of Christ, and was originally a day when everyone went to church for a special celebration of Christ's birth. If you really wanted to celebrate the true meaning of the day, then it would be a good idea not to put up a tree as that was originally a pagan tradition. I think it's likely that Christ was born in the spring, but since a different calendar was used back then, it's hard to determine the exact month He was born.
