Not of the Christian faith and although my parents never put up a tree, we used to spend the holidays with many of our Christian friends. As an adult, I've always had some sort of tree every year.
We used to get one every year until we discovered that one of the girls has a severe allergy to either the sap or the scent of the leaves. We'd had a beautiful artificial tree and ornaments but had to leave it behind for this last move. My absolutely amazing (the 18 y/o) daughter bought us a 3-1/2 foot pre-lit with her first paycheck, so we still haven't missed a year.
