Just as a reminder to those choosing to purchase a tree or wreath you will be participating in an activity that explicitly violates the separation of church and state. Christmas trees and wreaths while perhaps originally a pagan ritual now are perceived as explicitly Christian symbols, particularly to those of us who are not of the Christian faith.
