    This tradition was started from 16th century from Germany. The first decorated tree was at Riga in Latvia, in 1510 and then Martin Luther decorated a small tree for his children. Jesus was not born under any tree. It is just an old tradition and people decorate Christmas trees because they are pretty and cheerful and remind them of childhood traditions.

      Jesus wasn't born in under a tree, he was born in a stable, in a manger.  The palm trees have to do with Catholicism and Palm Sunday, when Jesus' path was adorned with Palms as he came through the street.
