10 Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Thus says the Lord:
“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]for the customs of the peoples are vanity.[SUP][a][/SUP]
A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]They decorate it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
Christmas is honoring the the birth of Jesus. the bible tells us all about His birth but the tree is not part of the story. that custom is of the nations.
Christmas today is about how much can you spend and the more you love them the more money you spend.
and Christmas trees are cut down, decorated, and fasten to a stand so they can not move.
the majority that celebrate Christmas today dont do it for Jesus, they do it for themselves.
the nations, vanity, decorated tree, the passage seems pretty spot on to me.
