The tree is a pagan symbol that is here because the church was trying to cover up the winter holiday at this time of year. Jesus was born in the spring when the shepherds would have actually been in the fields.

Originally it was pagan, I ponder this myself, what does a Christmas tree have to do with the birth of Jesus?
