None of those things are Christian (besides going to church).
The tree, mistletoe, yule log, decorating the house, caroling, giving gifts, etc, etc. All pagan.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
