Christians don't know anything about their own traditions. Don't sully anyone's outrage with your facts.

Like the fact that Christmas trees used to be hung upside-down in Central Europe.

As I said before, the Middle Ages were screwed up. I could care less, it makes no sense to hang a tree upside down. And people have gotten away from the true meaning anyway, and that's the sad part.

When did "christmas" trees get co-opted into being a Christian tradition anyway?
