This has nothing to do with pagan origins, oh wise one Nick.

I know it does have pagan origins. My question is not about those pagan origins.

christmas is a pagan holiday. The bible says not to celebrate these days.
And people wonder why christians are labeled as hypocrites.

We put up a little 3' treelast year, and I was actually the one who bought it!
I have roomates now and the woman needs her 'Chistmassy' stuff. I did it out of love for her. She did all the decorations and there were a few presents under the tree.
I still hate Christmas, but that doesn't mean I have to be a hardass.

Yes, we put up a tree, and stockings and wait for Santa to come because it is tradition but I like to make sure the kids understand the real meaning of Christmas because our traditions seem to take away from it. We also hunt Easter Eggs on Easter.

Yes, on Christmas Eve. I am well aware it came from a Pagan tradition.

i'm a Christian. I have no concern asserting "happy trip trips" to my non-Christian friends. If I even have any doubt as to the religious (or non-religious) association of a man or woman, i'm going to declare "happy trip trips" quite than "Merry Christmas". The word "happy trip trips" by using no ability takes something faraway from my own Christmas celebrations. And who says that Christmas is the only iciness trip I rejoice? on an analogous time as infant in Christian college, we found out that observances which incorporate Christmas and Easter have pre-Christian roots. i've got not got a concern with that. human beings rejoice iciness trip trips for multiple distinctive motives, and that i'm superb with any of those motives. for people who rejoice any of those trip trips, regardless of history or ideals, I believe that we can all do it in peace. there is not any sane reason to quarrel over such concerns.

Yeah, yeah, the Bible says to not put a tree up in your house and adorn it with silver and gold. I'm sure this applied to Christmas since it was written well before the birth of Jesus, not to mention the establishment of Christmas or the modern tradition of putting up a Christmas tree. You are so smart.

Yes I had a tree. And my cats took down some of the decorations for me.

What is the meaning behind the Christmas tree?
Triangle Shape=The Trinity
It point upwards towards God.
Evergreen=Forever Eternal
Green=Life
The needles grow up like hands praising God.
Lights=Heaven
Gifts=Charity and Love
CHRISTmas
St. Nicholas, Santa Claus is a humble servant of our loving God and he too, bows down to worship the Lord and Savior.
The green color of the fir tree remains green year round, depicting the everlasting hope of humankind. All its needles point heavenward, a symbol of our thoughts turning toward heaven.
The star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world and the star was the sign of fulfillment of God's promise.
The candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world. When we see the great light, it reminds us of the One who displaces the darkness.
The wreath symbolizes the real nature of God's love. Real love never ends.
The holly plant represents immortality. The red holly represents the blood shed by Christ and the sharp pointed leaves remind us of the crown of thorns worn by our Savior.
The Magi bowed before the Holy Babe and gave Him gifts because God so loved the world that God gave his only begotten son.
The candy cane represents the shepherd's staff. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock.

Can't afford to now a days but when electricity was not sooooooooooooo high, the family would always have one.
There is nothing wrong in my view, and I believe the Spirit of God says that I can have one and not be in violation of God.
