I'm confused. Do you think it's wrong to put any decorations in your house? Or only those items which may or may not have been used in pagan rituals or worship in times past or present?
What about sprinklings of colorful leaves on the Thanksgiving table?
Red glitter on the table on Valentine's day? Red hearts? Valentine's cards with cupid on the front?
Do you celebrate birthdays?
