I believe you are mistaken, Sir Machius. The modern commercial symbols are very similar to the ancient ones. These festivals still carry a huge seasonal connotation.

At Yuletide you used to decorate a pine tree and put gifts under it to be opened on the day of celebration, and snow and reindeer still have their place in Christmas today, even in the southern hemisphere. At Easter the modern symbols are rabbits and eggs and baby birds - the same as the ancient symbols of spring.
