Jeremiah 10: 2-5 and verse 8
Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed by them.
For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth the tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, that it move not.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil neither is it in them to do good.
Verse 8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
Thank you Derrick, for that, I keep on telling them, but, they don’t want to listen they are all set in there old ways with their pagan ways and celebrations!!

Great answer furthermore if people would read in Matthew Mark Luke and John they would see that the sheep hurders was still tending there sheep. If people knew that in that area and region of the hurders was still tending to their flock it ment it was still warm out not to mention John the Baptist was only 6 months older than Jesus if you count the months up you will see what month Jesus was born in and I assure you it was not December 25.
