The druids believed that gods lived in nature such as trees, rocks,etc so when the monks were trying to get their parishoners to stop celebrating heathen occassions, they incorporated the tree into a christian holiday. The idea was to 'wean' them away gradually because the peasants wanted both christianity and other beliefs. Same thing ( different aspects) happened with other celebratory occassions.
Except for the Easter part, Josh is right. Wellll, I could be wrong about Easter. I've not read about that being connected in some way with paganism before. So maybe Josh can tell us about it.
