I don't even know what you mean by a pre lit tree. Do you mean, you go out and buy a tree with lights already in and lit? That doesn't sound very charming.
In Denmark, most people (the ones who have a car, that is!) goes to a wood and pick the tree they like, and pay for it. Others go and buy the tree outside a supermarket. There are aall sizes and shapes. What I like about this, is the smell - it's simply wonderful! Then people decorate it and put lots of little candles on, some do this on a specific day in december (it varies), and some wait until Christmas Eve to lit it.
My friends have this tradition: On the darkest day of the year, 21st I think, they lit the tree for the first time and start digging into the goodies they made beforehand and have a real cosy evening.
To get back to the subject, I like to make my own food, but I do buy precooked food sometimes - if I'm busy or tired, but normally, I cook big portions and freeze it for such days.
I do agree that we've all become too lazy to do a lot of things ourselves, but I understand why some people are. However, many of us should sit down and think about our priorities.
