The whole thing is nothing but subversion done by the vile people of the book, for which, it turns out the Empire did not have enough lions. Per the true faith we would carefully cut branches from evergreen trees to celebrate the coming of spring and make the Lares joyful and satisfied, thus blessing us a good harvest and fewer fires. In spite of popular belief the Christians not only refused to hang up the evergreen boughs but subverted the wonderful Saturnalia to bring fires down upon Rome and harm us for saving them from their foolish beliefs by freeing them from life. People today even believe the Christian propaganda that it was Nero who started the great fire!
And who might you ask started the "Christmas tree"? The Germans, the most filthy hideous deceptive peoples to ever inhabit this world. Oh yes such a smart idea putting a tree inside your dwelling and adorning it with lit candles. I'm sure that made them quite cozy in their mud huts with straw rooves as they burned to death under the weight of their own stupidity.
If you survive the idiotic burning dead tree foolery for that year, it demonstrates that while $diety may not necessarily love you, $diety_pronoun still has use for you in the future.
