When it comes down to it, most Christmassy things that we consider Christmasssy things now aren't really Christmassy things until they were made in to Christmassy things. The nuts and bolts of Christmas are the birth of Jesus, and anything else, such as turkey, trees, robins, eggnog, stockings, tinsel, cranberries, sprouts, even Santa really aren't anything to do with Christmas at all. Until they were.
Look at the phenomenon of Elf on a Shelf and how quickly that just became a Christmasy thing. In 5 years everyone may be rushing out to buy their Christmas oysters!
I'm not religious and I don't celebrate Christmas btw. But retailers generally get their way in the end.
