There's nothing about cutting up the tree and carving it into an idol, or using just the wood.. Where does it say that in the scripture?

It confounded me why other believers did not know this ,like did they not read scripture.As a Sunday school teacher I had asked that the Christmas tree not be a part of our Christmas pageant and it was removed once I had shown the elders the scripture in Jeremiah.But there were many who were very upset and angry with me because they could no longer have their pagan symbol in church.One thing I have since learned that when God puts something in your heart/mind and even though you stand alone amongst other believers ,God is with you and He will bless you.

Simply because i do believe that it has nothing to do with the birth death even the life of Jesus Christ, the whole reason or point of me being a Christian is to follow Christ so following Christ and adding pagan practices is kinda wrong. The bible says in Exodus 11 that you shall have no other God But ME. Other can be anything in this case believing that a green tree gives everlasting life which replaces the Christ.
