You need to read "Pagan Christianity". Hardly anything you do in church is gonna survive.

My daughter and I trade off having Christmas every year. Sooo, this year she is not in the mood for a tree and asks, "Are you putting up a tree this year?" "Yes." "Okay, we are having Christmas at your house this year!" LOL!

Re: Christmas/Holidays
Interesting article,
http://www.touchstonemag.com/archive...id=16-10-012-v
The "Christmas tree" can be used to teach wonderful biblical lessons.
In addition St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) was a Modalist. Yep, Santa Claus was a Oneness Pentecostal.
