it depends on the people who were using it-- in Egypt it was used to represent the (P-----)man hood of RA- and gold and silver balls were hung on it to represent the castration he did on himself-euuuu. it was worshiped by the druids because it stayed green when everything died and gave them hope that the sun would return to them.
it is mentioned in the Bible- Isaiah44;14-15 Jeremiah 10;1-11

History of the Riga Christmas Tree
When searching for the historical beginning of the first Christmas tree, one must go very deep into the past. Just like Santa Claus one finds that the first Christmas tree was combination of many different facts, legends and customs all starting in the Baltic countries and what is now Northern Germany. The first documented use of an evergreen tree in a Christmas celebration was in Riga, Latvia, in the year 1510 according to many sources.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
