Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Jer 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.
Jer 10:3 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.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 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 it in them to do good.
Oh I never saw that passage...I just would never support cutting down a tree...aren't there enough fires....and ruining of the forests in South America?
I dislike very much seeing those huge trees cut for DC and NYC. And for what?

Sustainable forestry? Cultural cohesion?
Like OP, it's a good idea to learn about the subject before condemning.
Birthday celebrations were forbidden for GOOD reason. Those under the stain of Adam's sin, shouldn't celebrate the year they were born into that condemnation. But of course that foolish pride is all around us.

Including the foolish pride of thinking they have all the answers when they don't have any idea what the real question is. Need a mirror?

Were you ever or are you now a Jehovah's Witness?
I love to remember that day my children were born to me.

I heard we have fires because we do not rake the forests.
There is a Christmas Tree Farm in my neighborhood. The trees are then carted to the beaches to stop erosion, and give shelter to small critters.
OP. There is nothing like the energy of Christmas eve, and day. Allow yourself to feel it. Take it with you.

The symbols go deeper than actual trees, and silver and gold
It doesn’t matter if you keep the day or not, what matters is if you know the meaning of the symbols
Trees are not about physical trees
Isa 41:18 I will open rivers in bare places, and fountains in the midst of valleys; I will make the desert for a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Isa 41:19 I will plant cedar in the wilderness, acacia, and myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set fir, pine and boxwood together in the desert;
Isa 41:20 so that they may see, and know, and set up, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah has done this; and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

No, I have never been a Jehovah's Witness.
