I'm confused Christmas tree or not?
 
How do you feel about the Christmas tree? I want to get one for my children but I don't want to be in violation of the scriptures.

Personally I don't think there's anything for or against having a Christmas tree in the Bible, but you need to pray and study that one out for yourself.

Do you bow down and worship the tree? If not, don't worry about it.

Everybody bows down. How else do you get the presents from under the tree?

There's definitely nothing for it. The entire celebration is extra biblical.

extra biblical meaning it's not in the bible? My husband is against it but we have three kids under 5 (well one just turned 6 this november) and I would love to start that tradition. My Church preaches against it though.

What about Jeremiah 10 verse 3 and 4?
