    Actually, Donna was addressing the person that used Jeremiah 10 to say that Christmas trees were forbidden in scripture. Donna correctly points out that the passage in Jeremiah was addressing the making of idols for worship and not a Christmas tree - hence the person was pulling the passage out of context. Your question should be addressed to the person that misused Jeremiah 10 and not to Donna. As she has shown that she is not in agreement with him (at least in reference to that argument).

    My most profound apologies to Donna and I re-direct this inquiry to the individual who "misused" Jeremiah 10.

    I had a senior moment.

    That's ok, I had a middle-age moment last weekend. Hurts more and more to do what I used to do without pain at a younger age.

    My Grandmother use to love Santa Clauses. Now she has decided they are Pagan and wants nothing to do with them. My boyfriends mother collects them though and she's a pastors wife! Can anyone clarify for me if Santa Claus has Pagan roots?

    Rather than make a long post, let me give you some URLs about the origins of SC. Whether you consider him or anything about him pagan is between you and GOD, as are all the other questions about pagan symbols.

    Here's an opinionated but fairly accurate site:

    Here's one that's mostly about the AMERICAN Santa:
