Don't tell anyone how the tree thing came about. One thing people forget is that is thee world Christianity came into and had to be the one to adapt at first. And if you read what they say about it, they had no compunction about it.
Ha! Indeed. Once I read Jeremiah 10 I never put up a “Christmas” tree again. Realizing this was written around 650 B.C, 6 centuries before Christ. So I guess it was a “pagan” tree. Whatever it was it was practiced by many societies centuries before Jesus. Once I figured out what the Winter Solstice celebrations were, loooook outtt. All bets were off.
For those with no access to a KJV…..

Jeremiah 10 2 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. 3 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 axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is itin them to do good.
Fascinating…..
