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.

The Christmas tree comes from the Middle Ages. Is the Christmas tree screwed up? People in this thread are discussing tradition, but the earliest tradition of the Christmas tree was that it be hung from the ceiling. Is your "new tradition" better than "old tradition?" Why? Because you're used to it?
