No, that's a different tradition; the Yule log was traditionally thrown on the fire... Normally you don't burn Christmas trees.

Yes, this time certainly does have a lot of traditions about it. From santa claus to multicolored lights and other age-old traditions that are a few decades old.
One tradition that has been picking up steam in the U.S. is known as the "War on Christmas". It is a veritable feast of media mud-slinging over petty differences when pundits and news channels of all stripes take their sides in a ritual conflict that historians believe is meant to be a praise to Eris, the Greek godess of strife, so that she may bless the media with many newsworthy and not-exactly-newsworthy talking points for the year to come.
So, do you partake in the War on Christmas?

Merry Christmas! And remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
Please, the Christ Child was born somewhere in Spring to Fall. He was never born in the Winter months.
Please learn your Christmas History before coming off so ignorant.
