Actually, it's not. The holiday you're celebrating with the tree is the winter solstice. There's nothing in the Bible or the Christian religion that even vaguely suggests (or even makes sense of) using evergreen trees to commemorate the (completely wrong season) birth of Jesus.
The truth is that pagans used to deck out their homes with sprigs and branches to make their homes look alive, so that Death would pass them by in winter. Or they did it just because it helped them remember that spring was around the corner. Or because Balder the sun god like evergreen trees.
