Decorating evergreens was an ancient PAGAN custom. That's why the Bible FORBIDS it.
Jeremiah 10:2-4 "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 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 axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

All the bugs in the tree will start new families when they get inside your house. They need new homes, that's why!

It's a tradition, and traditions are the glue that hold a culture together. Besides, it's pretty.
