Christmas...pagan origins?...perhaps.
Christmas is what you make it to be. A celebration of the Incarnation or the anticipation of Santa.
Also we live in a pagan saturated world, can you get away from Thursday, Saturday, Sunday etc.?
Yep, pagan origins. Christ was not born in December, it was most likely September. However, what was celebrated in December was the Roman Saturnalia, and the winter solstice. Pagan religions celebrated the winter solstice because it was the shortest day of the year, after that the day begin to get longer and they saw this a bringing new life.
The thing is if you look at Christmas and the different rituals involved it's pretty clear that they come from the world and not the Bible. While Jeremiah 10 isn't addressing this issue, Deuteronomy does. These are the instructions God gave to His people when they went into the Land.
2
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and
under every green tree: {possess: or, inherit}
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. {overthrow: Heb. break down}
4
Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. (Deu 12:2-4 KJV)
The pagans used trees in worshiping their Gods, God told the Israelites, "you shall not do so".
29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land; {succeedest...: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest them}
30
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from bef
ore thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. {by...: Heb. after them}
31
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. (Deu 12:29-31 KJV)
He told them they were not to worship Him the way the pagans worshiped their gods. If you look at Christmas rituals you'll find many trace back to pagan worship.
