Christmas Trees

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 it in them to do good.  ⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.  ⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.  ⁸ But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities."

Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
