What have a Christmas tree, Santa or Easter Bunny or Eggs to do with me.
Jeremiah 10:1-4 The Sovereignty of God 1Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them. 3For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman. 4They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.

Put away false god, pagan worship. Be thankful for my death on the cross and celebrate my resurrection

The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
