Jeremiah 10:1-5 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord:
“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are [a]futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple. 5 They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good.”
Pagans celebrated Christmas back in the day, and put up wreaths and Christmas trees to praise their gods or do it for their gods because it was winter and there would be no green anything outside. It would all be covered in snow so they put some of that greenery in their house as a tradition for their beliefs.
Deuteronomy 12:1-4 “These are the statutes and judgments which you shall be careful to observe in the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you to possess, all[a] the days that you live on the earth. 2 You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their [b]wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. 4 You shall not worship the Lord your God with such things."

OMG, luv it!
I just want to tell you, I don't know it your Christian or not but the bible says that we should not celebrate Christmas
Jeremiah 10:1-5 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord:
“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are [a]futile;
For one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
That one is talking about how we shouldn't do Christmas trees. But it also says we shouldn't learn the way of the gentiles.
People say, "Oh, well, Christmas is a Christian tradition, but it is really not.
Pagans celebrated Christmas back in the day, and put up wreaths and Christmas trees to praise their gods or do it for their gods because it was winter and there would be no green anything outside.

This verse is saying we should not worship the Lord our God the same way the others worship their gods.
Exodus 34:14 "(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),"
Remember, God is a jealous God. He's the only God.
Feel free to study this yourself if you want. I would also recommend Pastor Gino Jennings on youtube.
His YouTube channel name is First Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He touches on the Christmas subject as well.
God Bless you!
