Of course you've missed out the really controversial issue of the tree, not when does the tree get taken down but when it should be put up in the first place!
Many many years ago, a church we attended had a guest pastor. This pastor would not put up a tree for Christmas because he said it represented some pagan worship. I always thought it was a strange idea but wasn’t sure where the Christmas tree actually came from. My Christmas tree is brightly lit to celebrate the season. :)
I am interested by Isaiah 7:14 not being a messianic prophecy, but being a typology. This makes perfect sense (and makes nonsense of the 'translation wars' over virgin/young woman.) Is there any reference that lists other well known prophecies that are actually typologies?

Indeed!
