My guess is no, they are just like a picture of your mom, or a ornate table in the hallway. We are not talking about that. Those flowers be they fresh picked are placed in the vase, and will be removed when they die. Yet, the tree will only not be placed in it's own special unit and have water added, but it will have jewels and ornaments, lights, candles, action, and other baubles. It will also have it's trimmings saved, after it dies. If it be artificial it will be carefully preserved until next year.
The tree unlike the spring flowers will have the gifts placed under it, and those gifts are only given out once a year. The xmas tree is a special symbol during the time of season. To compare it to mere flowers in a vase, is ridiculous and a sad attempt to win an argument.

Keeping flowers in the home during Springtime originated in pagan fertility practices. It was believed to bring life and fertility to the home.

So you observe the Lord's Supper in similar fashion as the Passover Supper? That's respectable. However, I hope you're telling the truth....but in all honesty...I think you're lying. In the Judgment all things will be revealed. If you're lying...you're going to be revealed bro. But I hope I'm wrong and you're really celebrating the Passover Supper as the Lord's Supper.
Hey...do you use the Jewish Seder wine? I have the honor of having married into a Jewish family. I've spoken to some very nice rabbis on the subject. What do you drink?
