Here is a great site for this. There are pages for most of the traditonal western holidays and. Here is the one for the common symbols of christmas:
http://www.information-entertainment...massymbol.html

And for easter:
http://www.information-entertainment...ys/easter.html

And here's something that's always bothered me. The 3 wise men. From the east. Very far in the east. They saw the star the night christ was born. And the made it there the same night? Ummm....doubt it. If I remember right, the would've actually had to travel on into Eygpt and would've arrived when Jesus was aproximately 3 years old. But why do people persist in saying that they were there that night? I don't know, but that's always been my peeve with christmas.
