Because, of ACLU, and the whole Separation of Church and State thing. Christianity offends people, especially Atheists, Jews, and Muslims, etc...
Whereas an evergreen tree by itself offends no one. However, it is still silly that they would allow it, anyways. Also, it is not a 'christmas tree'.... because that's not what The Pagans called it. ;)
Peace,

Good points Arcturus,Sorin, I thought I would throw this in for free, the christmas tree,now so common among us, was equally common in the pagan Rome and Pagan Egypt. In Egypt that tree was the palm tree,in Rome it was the fir, the palm tree denoting the pagan messiah as baal-tamar, the fir referring to him as baal-berith, peace Ray-Ray

Here's one for ya:
my "family" cut down a tree, illegally (wrong type of tree; not knowing the law or different types of trees), hung lottery tickets on it, and then had to find a place to "dispose" of it.
