Best Answer

Evergreens are significant in several pagan ritualistic beliefs, especially around the time of the winter solstice. This is why they have been absorbed by some into the winter celebrations of Christmas. It is possible that this association of life (green plants in the dead of winter) was an important reason that the winter season was chosen as the time to celebrate Christ's birth in the first place. The date December 25 has nothing whatever to do with the actual event of Jesus' birth.
