		<description>Jeremiah 10:2-10 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright Â© 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

    
2 This is what the LORD says: 
       "Do not learn the ways of the nations 
       or be terrified by signs in the sky, 
       though the nations are terrified by them. 

 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; 
       they cut a tree out of the forest, 
       and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 

 4 They adorn it with silver and gold; 
       they fasten it with hammer and nails 
       so it will not totter. 

 5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, 
       their idols cannot speak; 
       they must be carried 
       because they cannot walk. 
       Do not fear them; 
       they can do no harm 
       nor can they do any good."

I think it is referring to carving an idol, not decorating a "Christmas tree."

P.S.
Does anyone think it's ironic that anti-Christians are pushing for the word 'holiday' instead of Christmas?  After all, isn't holiday the new version of the Old English holy day?????</description>

		<description>Another funny thing about the silly Christian brouhaha over stores advertising "Holiday Trees", and the recent controversy over their removal from a Seattle airport: 
.
God specifically FORBIDS the practice of cutting down and decorating "Christmas trees", since it was originally the custom of HEATHENS.
.
Jeremiah 10:2-4  "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."</description>
