There was no Christmas tree at the first Christmas. There were no presents, and hospitality toward guests was not so much of a thing. The first Christmas was celebrated in a limited region of the Middle East where there are no reindeer, much less with Germanic names. Contrary to lots of relevant songs, there was not a great universal rejoicing at the birth of Jesus, and the local government tried to assassinate Him, with considerable collateral damage. Holly, mistletoe and fir trees are not anywhere indigenous to the region. There is little to no evidence that turkey, goose or ham were consumed at the first Christmas, and many other so-called traditional foods associated with Christmas did not exist at the time, and many never have been native to the region, such as fruit cake, gingerbread, plum pudding, or canes made of sugar, flavored with peppermint oil. There was no midnight religious service, nor was it celebrated with decorative lights or a profusion of candles. For that matter, there is very little likelihood of snow at the first Christmas, given the regional climate, making sleds, sleighs & their accessories, as well as much of Santa Claus' wardrobe, highly improbable. And don't even get me started on HIM. The closest things to gifts associated with the first Christmas, were not made by elves, but likely Persian craftsmen and herbalists. The Holy Family did not go to their ancestral town to be "home for the holidays" but in response to a bureaucratic decree.
Thanksgiving is a paragon of honesty compared to Christmas.
And for the record, no one was making lots of noise or kissing or getting hammered on the first day of the very first New Year, and it wasn't until much much later than anyone even began calling it that.
Oh, and unless they thought Our Lord had come back to steal their favorite breakfast food, I don't think that one the day of His Resurrection, anyone was running around hiding eggs.
