JEREMIAH 10
2 thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; 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 like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

OH crossmas tree oh crossmas tree. Actually Christmas tree tradition came from German ideas were the triangle shape represents the trinity God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit in the German pine tree of evergreen or everlasting praise at Christmas time were decorated. The Lord God showed me he prefer the cedar tree were the cedar trees of Lebanon where used to build The Lord God Temple that King Solonom had brought in from Lebanon. Another ideas are the ceder hope chest people keep their precious belonging, or cedar coffin people use to keep the bugs out. Some people reject Christmas trees because of some pagan uses in the past, But I see that as fear unfounded in the Lord and just party pooper. See the customs are here and pagans never celebrated Christmas. Plus most of all Jesus is ususally is rejected to worship him in public and any chance for Christians to worship Jesus in the public than go for it.
