We eat turkey......

Do I worship the turkey, the cider or the apple pie and not Christ...

No.

It does appear to me that many do worship the Apple pie.

But that is another story...

Simply decorating things around you in the season does not denote worship or assimilate to the birth of Christ.

It is simply part of the season....

To answer your question, my Tree or decorations has nothing to do with the birth of Christ....

With all of the hoopla of the season.

The commercialism, the party's etc...

I will not take Christ out of the season because of what others do or have changed it into...
Neck it was YOU who implied if we didn't put up a tree and string lights we were not remembering His birth.
