TreeBeard Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 In Canada, Christmas is a secular holiday that stems from British religious traditions. These Christian traditions stole many pagan traditions to try and work these other cultures into theirs. Disagree? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Is turkey with stuffing even mentioned in the Bible? Has anyone else noticed you can't find turkey broth in the grocery store? Is that a Theremin in the background or have my grandkids hacked my hearing aids? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put a star or an angel on the top of your Christmas tree? I opt for a Mercedez logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What percentage of folks in Canada do you think celebrate Xmas as a Christian holy day? 5% would probably be a generous figure. 14 hours ago, Moonlight Graham said: Christmas tree Xmas trees are not Christian in origin, are they?

I says wassap Black Dog! Nice to see you back on here. Don't play coy. You can celebrate any religious tradition and not believe in the actual religion. You can even go to church and take the free bread wafers and wine. Edited December 31, 2023 by Moonlight Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
