In fact, many were redefined so that they point to the only true Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Christmas Tree was redefined to represent eternal life in Christ.

not for me 
For me personally to do/think that, in my own mind I would be doing so just as a desperate attempt to justify partaking in something that hasn't got anything to do with Jesus Christ.(but rather roots in things he hates)
