Q & A: What is the difference between a “Christmas Tree” and “Family Tree”?
question of Tommy : What is the difference between a “Christmas Tree” and “Family Tree”
In Lowe’s catalog, they have “family trees”, a lot like Christmas trees, to look at me. Is there some kind of tradition or new use for trees? He also says, “Trees and wreaths are timeless symbols of the holiday.” What other holiday next to Christmas trees and wreaths includes http://mediaserver2.afa.net/twb2007/lowescatalog.pdf Best Answer:
response from George P
you are probably too little politically correct. Some people get by the sight of Christmas trees will be sold on the side of the street or in stores, so call them holiday trees or stores likely in this case, it is a family tree.

It appears that the pre lit trees are being called the “Family Tree” for some reason. The wreaths & trees are displayed during the Christmas holidays & have been for years & years, which make them timeless. JMHO
A family tree is a map of how you are related to your relatives. I can’t imagine why Lowe’s is using that name for a Christmas tree. It’s not a new tradition or anything. It’s the product of people with too much time on their hands and believing that everyone gets upset over the same things they do.
Yule and Christmas are the only holidays that have trees. Hanukkah, Ramadan and Kwanzaa certainly don’t.
Because, people are trying to take Christ out of Christmas – they’ve taken Him out of our schools, government, and everywhere else. Their next step, sadly, is to take Him out of His own birthday – Christmas. Some people are “offended” when Christmas is called Christmas. It’s sad really, really sad. It will always be a Christmas tree to me, no matter what our country tries to do otherwise.
In my very own concept the existing difference bewteen a
Christmas Tree and a Family Tree is that the first is the
traditional tree you bring home– or go into the woods and
cut it off yourself — and decorate with xmas balls, wreaths,
trinkets, etc. whereas the Family Tree is the one you write-off
a list of your ancestors or predecessors which are the past
members or components of one’s family.
