Perhaps, but here in 21st century America those who decorate trees are celebrating Christmas and I will guarantee you that if asked, the vast majority of people would say Christmas if you asked them what holiday the decorated tree is associated with.
Besides, it hardly matters what religion the tree is associated with. The rabbi wanted inclusion. Why split hairs to deny him?
