It's said that Martin Luther first set candles in a Christmas tree to simulate a starry night.
Traditionally in Europe, Christmas trees are not cut and decorated until Christamas Eve (Dec 24) and are left up for the Twelve Day of Christmas, until the Feast of the Kings (Jan 6). However, in North America, Christmas trees often go up considerably earlier and are taken down by New Year's.
The custom of decorating houses with evergreen branches in the dead of winter is an ancient one, but the first dateable reference to a *tree* being brought indoors and decorated specifically for Christmas is from 1570 in Bremen, Germany. That trees was decorated with apples, fig, nuts and paper flowers as a treat for the children of guild members.

The Tannenbaum is a symbol of peace and eternal life. A Christian Christmas Tree, represents the Cross on which hung the light of the world, who, when He died, completed His union in love with His church. The Cross reunited earth and sky, God and humanity in love. The lights of the tree represent Jesus, the light of the world; the ornaments represent us, the fruits - the offspring of the union between Jesus and His church. And thus did the Tannenbaum become the Christian Christmas tree.

It is because jesus was born near the tree and there was gift given to him at his birth. The reason why people put a star on top of the tree is because when jesus was born there was a bright star of god in the sky :) So the point is....Jesus and his birth

Yuletide celebration. It's a pagan custom that's usually associated with the Norse, if not originally from them. The evergreen survived winters, so it likely had something to do with longevity and possibly the sring harvest. Also, there's a fertility association with the mistletoe.

I think that it started when someone needed a place to crap for the holidays, since it was too cold to go outside they did their business by the tree
