It is pagan.Has nothing to do with christianity.
Now many christians say it symbolises life, adn that the various lights on the tree also has a meaning.I think that they made that up to justify the polution of christianity.
Peace

Ah, I know this. In Germany it started as a pagan symbol but later it was thought that because of it's triangular shape it represented the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Incedentally the first "Christmas Tree" to be decorated was in Riga, Latvia in 1510 placed outside the Melngalvnams (Black Heads' Guild) It was then burnt but I am not sure why!

Vanity:
Jeremiah 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
Jeremiah 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jeremiah 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
