Christmas tree thread

[bbbbbbb]

This thread is for the posting of pictures of Christmas trees. They can be unusual or ordinary, fancy or plain. Take your pick. For those who abhor those of us who enjoy Christmas trees, you can ignore this thread. Hopefully, this thread will help us all lighten up a bit (pun intended).

To start things off, this is a John Deere Christmas Tree, designed specifically for the worship and adoration of all things related to the John Deere farm implement company.

Inverted Christmas. By the 12th century it became a custom, especially in Europe to hang the Fir trees upside down from the ceilings to symbolize the Holy Trinity.

till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."

Jeremiah 10:1-5(NKJV)
1Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2Thus 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 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.”

I like the Bizzarro tree idea.

It looks like an inverted bell.

My Favorite!! Merry Christmas!!

I had one of those in my bachelor days. I loved it. It was a fake one but all I had to do was pick it up by the top and take it into the attic, the decorations and all. The next year, I'd bring it back down.

It was my humble tree of love.

Exodus 34:13
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.

Deuteronomy 7:5
This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire.

Deuteronomy 16:21
[ Worshiping Other Gods ] Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build to the LORD your God,

Judges 6:25
That same night the LORD said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.

1 Kings 14:15
And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused the LORD’s anger by making Asherah poles.





Do you guys burn them afterward? I do love burning a Christmas tree!

Mine's fake to help keep real greenery alive and thriving. If I want the pine smell, I light a candle or incense.

And no, I don't burn my fake tree.

Sounds like a plan!

Down here in the country of Texas, us redneck Christians use empty soda and/or beer cans [and/or bottles]...mainly beer, to build a Christ-mas tree.
