Pero, ¿hablas español? :-)
Can't you say in English: *We have Christmas trees, but they are not a Spanish tradition*? In Spanish it works: *Tenemos árboles de Navidad, pero no son una tradición española*. I think, again, I have some difficulties because of the Spanish language, since we mostly don't use the subject pronouns. If you say *We have Christmas trees, but it is not a Spanish tradition*, what does *it* means for you here? *Tradition*? Of course, in order to avoid the problem with the agreement, it would be better to use *'oH*.
