than putting
up a Christmas tree or doing an Easter egg hunt because of
carving a
pumpkin, dressing in a costume, and trick-or-treating. To me, as a Christian, all these holidays are part of our cultures and traditions, and many of the Christian holidays have paganism combined with them, such as the Christmas tree. The purpose of Christmas, for a Christian, has absolutely nothing to do with evergreen trees and decorating them. That comes from pagan traditions.
