That would be permissible. Just don't wear red, and everything will be fine.

Can anyone take Jeremiah 10 and tell me what it has to do with Christmas?

Uh, no.

For the people that don't believe in Christmas trees, what if the tree is fake? A tree made out of plastic and medal is a sin too??

What about gifts - show me a scripture that says it's a sin to exchange gifts

People that don't believe in Christmas trees need to throw all their plants out of their house and get rid of any flower garden they may have around thier house,after all someone might think it is one of those "groves" to the false gods mentioned in the Old Testament.

Now St.Mark you being a Saint and all should read in Revelation where the world exchanges gifts after the two witness are killed.
Even though this verse has nothing to do with Christmas,it does mention the exchanging of gifts just like Jeremiah 10 mentions a tree.
By the way doesnt the Bible talk about banquets too?

I read on line that Christmas carolling started with the Catholic church,should we quit singing Joy To The World and Silent Night now?

All you fussing about the trees, the focus is not on trees or even gift giving. Look at verse 2 of Jeremiah 10, where it speaks of not following after the ways of the pagans, the same command given Israel in Deuteronomy 12. We are called to be separate, and not use the ways of the pagan nations to worship God, for such is called an abomination. Just like false doctrines which say 'Jesus already come back and there is no rapture' and 'one person pastorialships are of the enemy', so is also the use of paganism to worship God.
