Christmas Trees And Ornaments And Presents Is From Boredom With Wintertime
Because that is WHY we do it every year: Winter needs something, anything to liven it up, so we have Christmas to try and make the lousy cold weather more palatable. Self-Explanatory.

Yeah. I wouldn't say boredom, but that makes sense, too.
It does give something to follow up to every year.
It's a tradition pretty much.
And for the presents, I guess that's another holiday for an excuse to get that x-Box you have been waiting for, :)!

Although I get your point I just don't think it's as simple as coping with winter. There are religious and cultural origins, and there is also a pretty long stretch of winter after Christmas which doesn't have much in terms of celebration, so if we do it mainly to spice up winter you'd think we'd have dreamt up another fun holiday part way through the rest of winter.

I genuinely like these holidays, I like presents, and yeah it helps make winter bearable. I just don't think that's the main reason we do it.
