Fifth major claim Mike refutes — biblical origin of Christmas trees

Jim's historical reconstruction: pagans in first-century Rome used decorated trees → Christians adopted the practice → New Testament writers responded with text telling them to stop → Christians ignored the warning and kept the tradition. Jim seems to think this passage is in the New Testament addressed to Romans.
