[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I notice OP has just chosen to ignore when someone pointed out that a Christmas tree is a pagan symbol.  So OP, if you are not a troll, then you will respond to this: do you have a Christmas tree?  Do you celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25th because it was actually when Jesus was born? Did you know that actually, the church wanted to stamp out paganism and pagan tradition, so the pope declared in the 4th c. that Christs birthday would be celebrated on the same day as the Winter Solstice?  Some other pagan symbols that Christians decided to adopt: red berries and green holly leaves, mistletoe and wreaths, etc.  Now, are YOU a PAGAN?!  If not, then why do you celebrate by using pagan symbols?

You don't own this holiday just because you are a "Christian" (quotes are added because you seem very unChristian in your attitude and treatment of other people that have chosen a path differently than yours). Would Jesus be proud of your judgement of other people?  Why not appreciate that whatever holiday traditions people celebrate, we should all try to have good will towards our fellow humans.  I'm sure you're a fine person, but you really might want to stop wasting your time on DCUM and study the teachings of the prophet you profess to follow. [/quote]

Well said!!! Thank you for writing what I wanted to say. [/quote]
