IMHO: Christmas trees of today are left overs of ancient Gemanic pagan traditions of worshipping 'Irminsul' trees.
See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irminsul
"The Vikings and Saxons worshiped trees. The story of Saint Boniface cutting down Donar's Oak illustrates the pagan practices in 8th century among the Germans. A later folk version of the story adds the detail that an evergreen tree grew in place of the felled oak, telling them about how its triangular shape reminds humanity of the Trinity and how it points to heaven."
