Well, the bible (old testament?) explicitly prohibits cutting and decorating a tree for religious traditions ... the better question would be: Why are the christians putting up trees on christmas?

Does it really? Do you happen to have the verse? That’ll be absolutely perfect for my in laws…

Jeremiah 10:1-4

Kings James version (see link for others):

Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel.  Thus saith the Lord: “Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.  For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
