Check out this awesome website: http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/
It has awesome information, like did you know that people used to bring evergreens into their homes during the winter solstice to celebrate the long-awaited return of the sun god (we're talking pre-Christianity here) and that they weren't popularized in association with Christmas until 1846 when Queen Victoria had a Christmas tree because her husband was German and they were traditional there?
Also Candy Canes were invented to keep children quiet during church :-P
