by traditions,I assume you mean marketing ploys to increase income for major retailers!
for example:
christmas trees (introduced by the scandanavians)
santa (a marketing tool for coca cola)
lights (again from chanuka)
turkey (not introduced until victorian times, a favourite of victoria and albert who became the main trendsetters for it)
I could go on but these ancient christian traditions seem very modern to me and also nothing to do with christianity
