It isn't really that odd that my favorite images of Christmas trees were painted by a Jewish mystic whose experience of the universal would seem to have come to him through color, Christianity is and should always have been seen as a branch of the same tradition.
We always put up our tree on the 24th, never until the afternoon and kept it up till January 7th. Sometimes longer if people were too busy to take it down that day. I don't have a tree, but I have an image of one. If I want to smell balsam I get some branches from those in my family who cut one.
