Did you mean Christmas Tree? I don't know what a Christman tree is. however if you meant Christmas, it came from the Pagans, Druids to be exact.
The Christians incorporated a lot of pagan symbols, holidays and beliefs to make it easier to convert the people to Christianity. (At least thats the way I heard it.)

Absolutely nothing. The Christmas tree tradition was observed by heathens back in the old testament days. See Jeremiah 10:2-4 in the Bible.

The tradition of a Christmas tree is part of the pagan winter solstice celebration. There is a passage in the bible that forbids this custom for Christians, but only the fundies recognize this restriction.

Nothing . It is a pagan symbol , ( the tree of life / knowledge ) .
Originally Pagans used to decorate a tree outside their house . Later , after persecution , the Pagans cut down a tree and decorated it inside their homes , out of sight of their persecutors – the Christians.

It doesn't have anything to do with him in fact, for many centuries it was against the law to have a "christmas" tree.Truthfully the whole decorating the tree thing was started by pagans as well giving presents and even the mistletoe was started by the Druids(celtic).Plus it has been argued on wether Christ was even born in December so, depending on your belief he has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas either.

Nothing, it's just a fun little tradition. But the angel on the top represents the angel that said Jesus was born. If there's a star on top, it represents the star that everyone followed to get to Jesus in the manger.

Nothng. It's a tradition from Victorian times. But most people make it a connection by placing a star or angel at the top.

Nothing.
Someone pointed out to me today that the Bible actually says not to have Christmas trees, so all those who are posting that the tree is Christian maybe need to read a bit more closely!
