the pine tree's needles never fall off in the same way leaves do, so it stays green throughout the whole year. This is a symbol of how God's love for us never fails. Also, the tree appears to take the shape of an upright triangle, symbolizing the reason for the season.
Plus a deciduous bush would look terrible in the house at this time of year

Pine Trees.
A wide variety of pine trees are used for Christmas trees in the US. White Pines are common.
The first 'Christmas Tree' was originally a Yew Branch, and from there evolved into the use of Pine or Fir trees.
Generally, a Christmas tree is a pine tree. However, Christmas trees can be made from many different things. There are ceramic Christmas trees, artificial trees made from plastic and metal, trees made from feathers, ribbons, pine cones, fabric, etc.
Christmas trees, typically pine or fir trees, smell like pine due to the presence of volatile organic compounds called terpenes in their needles. Terpenes release a strong scent when the tree is cut, contributing to the familiar pine fragrance associated with Christmas trees.
