Red herring alert: it's not about the tree, it's about the word Christmas. I guess what comes next is the usual drivel about Christmas being a "pagan" holiday, etc.
The mission of the anti-Christian left, including the mush-headed Liber(al)tarians we often see around here, is to get "Christ" out of "Christmas" (and everywhere else).

Calling the truth 'drivel' is a liberal tactic.

At the risk of being accused of calumny (I don't beleve that anyone can state that my opinion is heresy), I believe that there is nothing particularly "Christmas" that attaches to the paganistic, racially imprinted, winter solstice worshiping ritual of adorning ones winter shelter with evergreen fronds and bushes.
Other that a coincidence of seasonality of the observence, of course.
