the Christmas tree started as a winter solstice pagan holiday.

I'd always heard that too, but Religion for breakfast put out a pretty interesting breakdown on why that may likely not be the case.

Interesting.

Honestly, given that they are using a narrow definition of specifically an evergreen being decorated I don't agree. I'm not sure why we wouldn't include other types of winter holiday trees or bushes like the ones decorated for Saturnalia. There's also a lot of "probably" and supposition in this video.
