Does the Christmas tree relate to Jesus birth?

Article 2, Volume 3

                                   The Christmas Tree
 
In my childhood days, during Christmas season, I would accompany my brothers into the woods to chop down a tree.  We would take the tree home to be decorated and used for a Christmas tree. 
 
My opinion about the Christmas tree has really changed. I don't see any connection between the tree and the birth of Jesus.    My research disclosed that the evergreen has a long history of religious importance in pagan cultures. When all things are considered, I can't really justify men chopping down so many trees at Christmas time.
 
My story is explained at the following web site:  "Grady Bryant Expressions", www.myopinions.blogspot.com

Now I have found a new name and year - round use for the Christmas tree.
