Be glad if you have a fake tree

Misconscriptured

So you have a real Christmas tree this year? It's probably your last year isn't it? I remember the one time we went to cut down a Christmas tree during a storm. The ground was muddy and I fell down while carrying it with my dad.

He was getting frustrated by that point and the guy hefted the tree by himself back to the car. I was pretty embarrassed, but I had to hand it to my dad for his feat of strength.

If you think about it, aren't there so many drawbacks to real trees?

Real trees can drop dry needles. They can dry out, fall over and become fire hazards. They can be homes for insects, spiders and other forest creatures, so adeptly described in the following documentary.



And all because of a real Christmas tree.

But you should know that the Bible hates Christmas trees, at least the real ones. Don't believe me?

Jeremiah 10:3-4
"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."
