I think Betty Rubble started this. It was an old prehistoric celebration of evergreen trees, and Bettty kept making fancier and fancier decorations (it made her giggle to do this) and WIlma got jealous and decided to keep up.
So they got to where they were having decoration wars every year. Until one year Mr. Slate's wife noticed this and tried to out-do them, which ended the feud and got Wilma and Betty togeher.
You'll notice that the Stone Age "Christmas" is ONLY celebrated in the single-family suburban rock houses. It hadn't become a widespread custom.
The indoor tree with decorations and Yule log are OLDER than Christmas. Besides kids like those trees including kids in the audience. So the whole thing started as a writer's conference on how to increase the children's audience -- and one ambitious writer suggested having BamBam and Pebbles playing under a Christmas tree. The product marketing opportunities were so vast that they got ahead of themselves.
Finally, and fatally, Hanna-Barbara were too cheap to put someone on staff in charge of "continuity." There is no continuity in the Flintstones -- look at Dino, the pet dinosaur, for example.

They were like celebrating the "Stone-aged" pre-qual version of Jesus. Simple as that. Like the celebs who were popular back when the cartoon was created..."Rock Quarry" was the "Stone-aged" version of Rock Hudson, who, although, middle-aged, wasn't around in the "stone-age".
btw, man and dinosaur never co-existed, so there are many more unanswered questions that would make the validity of this particular cartoon quite suspect. lol

That's too funny.... I love over analyzing stuff like that, but never even crossed my mind. Thanks for the laugh? Maybe Fred was the first prophet and he knew JC was coming. It was a premptive celebration.

Hehe, I gotta say, damn good question. Hmm, they're celebrating a man named Cletus Christ. He was the one who discovered fire.

'Fess-up. You're just pointing-out that the Flintstones are evolutionists, aren't you.
