The Christmas tree tradition has many roots. The Romans contributed , and the pagan Germans (who later became Christians) also had solstice celebrations honoring trees. They, however, left the trees in the woods.
According to legend, the Protestant reformer Martin Luther was the first to decorate a tree indoors. One night, walking in the woods, he saw stars twinkling through evergreen branches. He brought a tree home and decorated it with candles to show his children the dazzling sight.
Incidentally, the Advent wreath has a similar story. The ancient Romans bestowed a "victory wreath" on athletes and warriors, and the Lutherans later absorbed this symbol into Christmas as a symbol of Christ's victory

The greenery of the evergreen is symbolic of life that sleeps under the snow and then returns in the spring.
