REALLY?!

Okay, I was talking to a friend who told me that her sister-in-law decorated her Christmas tree in black and silver. WTH? Who in the world celebrates such a joyous merry season by decking the halls with such a dismal hue? Mind you that this is the time of year when suicide rates soar and depression abounds! Should one go outta one's way to roll out the red carpet for such spirits? REALLY?! I mean I can get with sophisticated and trendy. I've even decorated my tree with pine cones spray painted gold and bronze ornaments with white lights. I've also done a pink themed tree with pink ornaments and lights to boot complete with ribbon. Both were quite the masterpieces if I do say so myself! But again I must reiterate how absolutely dreadful this supposedly chic nonsense is! Different is not always good! Black is worn to funerals (hopefully not mine...I want people to celebrate and be lively!). Black is also the ultimate slimming color for gals of all ages. There's even a diet trick to eat off of black plates in order to control appetite. But, unless your tree is a bit too plump for its own good (*note the sarcasm) it should not, I repeat not, be arrayed like a ninja! All of the included pics are from the web just to be used for example purposes. The pentagram ornament is actually being sold on ebay. REALLY?! A pentagram on a Christmas tree! A demonic symbol to celebrate the birth of Christ?! SMH and walking away because I could say more but why even bother. Getting angrier about the pentagram prompted me to find scripture for consolation.
Romans 12:19
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord.
