My lame joke. A lot of the popular "traditional" Chrismas imagery is from Victorian England, when reinterpretations of German traditions brought over by Albert's marriage to Victoria, the faddishness of anything semi-historical or done by the royals, and the availability of industrial manufacture spawned a trend of faux-traditional Chrismas kitch--just like in the old days, but new and improved! Not like we do anything like that now...
