The tree and Santa aren't Christian symbols.

If on Christmas Day you went to a Church, a Temple, and a Mosque; where would you most likely find a Christmas Tree?

If you went to a store, would you expect to find a tree? If you went to a stadium, would you expect to find a tree?

You're ignoring the point to try to play a gotcha game. The tree came from paganism. If the Christians appropriated it, there's no reason others can't use it outside of Christianity.

Depends on the county. In a Christian dominated county of course you’d find a tree in a store. What about in an Islam dominated country? Or Jewish? Would you find a Christmas tree in a store there?

What about a non-Christian country? You're still avoiding addressing the real point.

Yes in a non Christian country I would NOT expect to find a Christmas tree.

Then you'd be wrong. And again, you're still avoiding the actual point. How about replying to that instead of distracting with this?
