The Christmas Tree has its own symbolisms. I have managed to symbolize the tree

Star- Star of Bethlehem (Signal of the Magi of the East)
Base- The Nativity Scene
Leaves- the outline of the rays of the Star
Light- Rays of the Star
Decorations- Glorifying spectacle of truth that the Savior was born.
Shaft- Rays of the Star pointing to the Nativity Scene
I know you all know what a Christmas Tree looks like, but visualize it and put those symbolisms together. That is my theoretical reason why a Christmas Tree looks like that.
Christmastide is actually a 12 day season (Remember the song: 12 days of Christmas?). It starts from December 25 to January 6 which is the Epiphany (The arrival of the magi with their gifts.)
January 1 is the Circumcision of Jesus the Christ.
Santa Claus as children perceived it as a "Mascot of Gifts" whose General Headquarters is located in the North Pole, This figure is based on a bishop name St. Nicholas of Myra

ST. Nicholas, Bishop of the Diocese of Myra
(Feast: December 6)

Based from these pictures, the resemblances are clear. It is needless for me to tackle the obviousness of the fictions and the non-fictions of these figures. "Santa Claus" has many various translations depending on what region of the world you are.
GOD BLESS AND HAVE A BREAK THIS CHRISTMAS FROM ALL THE STRESS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
