You need to give it plenty of water as christmas trees usually are planted in marshy type soil.
Do not use any fertilisers but get a few buckets of bog earth and put it around the base of the tree.If you cannot get this use turf dust well watered.
Alot of trees like ground that is lime free & that may be the cause also.
Hope it helps you

If your in Australia its probably too dry at the moment because of the drought. Conifers are shallow rooted. Give it a really good drink - leave the hose running at its roots for a 1/2 hour once a week to revive it if its not getting watered and a dose of seaweed extract such as Seasol as a tonic.

Different trees have different growth patterns. Given that we have no idea where you are, what type of tree it is, it's difficult to give advice.
I'd consult a local arborist for help.
