Holiday Tree, No, Christmas Tree, No, Holiday Tree, No Christmas Tree,

It´s a Yule tree.

Yep, Yule Tree. Its pagan in origins, having a Christmas tree so why not call it what it is.

How bout a "Give Me My Goddamned Presents!!" Tree?

OK....

Insert


"Pagan Tree"


Is that chopped or unchopped?

I only celabrate one holliday, Arbor Day.

It usually is just a fucking pine or fir tree and that´s it. the rest is up to the user to decide what it means..

just liked i used the following letters in the first sentence

I,T,U,S,A,L,Y,J,F,C,K,N,G,P,R,E,D,H...

i think you understood what i wrote the first time, and if i had started this thread with those symbols you wouldn´t have known what i was talking about...

anyhow. christmas shischmas.

i like the whole evil nimrod tree thing though, personally, pretty damn funny to have an evil tree ritual.

God made demons pretty simple didn´t he? say a few latin or ancient tongue languages, draw a circle, put it on the right date? get some "love Passion" incense from the liquor store. run around the triangle three times widdershins.

and presto...demons come running for the great taste of extraneous ritualization.

Most pagans don´t use a live tree unless they intend to use it in some way afterwards, such as for firewood.

Don´t kill trees for Christmas...

The pagans I know get the live potted ones and plant them afterwards. Why use the death of a tree to celebrate the birth of the Sun/Son?

Yule Tree

Yule Tree? As in Yule log? or is that something
else entirely?

Satan’s Tree

I know Black but, it is the principal of the thing. Look at the forethought and fortitude of some one like The Terminator from California.
He like Conan took a stand....Christmas Tree, Cristmas Tree he shouted out loud thru the canyons and freeways and byways of California!
We have to take a stand somewhere...especially if we are to place a Holiday tree or a Christmas Tree into that stand!

Damn, I sure missed an opportunity today. I stopped at a liquor store on the way home to get some vino and I could´ve gotten some incense and called up demons!! DAMN. I hate it when that happens......

Plastic Tree


I´d like to see these kind of traditions stopped, they´re just a complete waste of money (Yeah, Bah Humbug etc)


I´d also like to see an end to Kosher and Halal cruelty but er, that doesn´t really have much to do with this thread does it ?

The Yule log is traditionally a remnant from the previous years´ Yule fire. Yule is the name for the Winter Solstice.

The fir tree has a long association with Christianity, it began in Germany almost a 1000 years ago when St Boniface, who converted the German people to Christianity, was said to have come across a group of pagans worshipping an oak tree. In anger, St Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from the roots of the oak tree. St Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But it was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time.

Nice cut and paste, Traveler......but didn´t your high school English teacher teach you about citing your sources and giving credit to the original author?

What you did is called plagiarism and is looked upon as one of the highest felonies in the acedemic and literary world....and among most decent people in general.

My wife and I used to argue about this every year. And every year she won and a tree went up in the living room and in the back deck.

This year I win, no tree.

Most of you are wrong. it´s a dead tree usually!!!

This year I win, no tree.

Thanks,I´d heard of the Yule log before but didn´t
remember it´s signifigance(sp).

I know Freedom Man, i live in the terminator´s state. I guess i have been doing it for so long i can tune out anything like our governor.


Sound fucking bytes...americans love them.

to me he´s just a artificial intelligence AI robot from some kids at MIT.

I really don´t even take a second glance at ´politiicians´/´religiouso robots´ and their ilk as real or human anymore. and not as a derogerotry insult either.
I mean i don´t even acknowledge that they exist. i literally forget that those people actually think that they are real human beings and not their own tired cliches on a television screen. (or maybe they are their own cliches.)

yeah.

well. i sent out four cards today. i´m already done with christmas now. hehe

i think ill celebreate DOLMEN though (that´s irish new year on the 23rd)..


Pioneer Queen: Don´t Use the Carrribean Cruising Incense Sticks (these are usually light blue)..

They cause one of the Night Goetic Spirits access to your Cookie Jar..and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Hi then All......


A Pre-Merry Christmas to everyone......

May the true spirit of Treedom be within you all, especially if you live in California!

Well, actually, it was the Greeks and Romans who started using & decorating evergreens.

P.Q....

Does demure go with the spirits of the vine?

Why fight over it. It´s a tree decorated with love and memories that brings people closer together if only for a small period of time.

Peace

Black...whew! thanks! I *almost* grabbed a handful at the counter!!

UC

Not even Billie Holiday, and her blues?

I have celebrated with her on occasions........

Remer

Especially if one does not leave them up all year round......

CW....
Welcome back to the outcast club..... no finer place to be, and if you don´t believe me just ask J.C.......
