I know that people use the tree for Christmas, however that holiday is from the Pagans and GOD warned us not to do what the heathen and the pagan was doing. Besides December 25th is not JESUS birthday. It was too cold in Bethlehem in December for the sheep to be in the fields. Therefore, the shepherds brought them in in the month of October before the cold set in and they left them inside un the beginning of the spring. JESUS also never commanded us to celebrate His birthday at all. So JESUS is NOT the reason for the season. It 's all pagan and Constantine was a motivating factor in the holiday and doing a study of this Emperor people can learn a lot about just what he did come up with, and he was himself a Pagan. Christmas is a man made holiday and now it 's all about and commercialism. They start putting out the merchandise in October and it 's still there until January when they offer it on sale for up to 75 off. When you know the truth then the truth will set you free. Christmas is tradition and nothing more.
