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?

I said the MIDDLE AGES was screwed up.
And yeah I think the inverted tree is pathetic. People have gotten away from the real reason of Christmas. I'd like to share this message...I got it off a Christmas card:

COME AND SEE!

It's a star in the heavens
Come and see!

It's a light in the stable
Come and see!

It's a babe in the manger
Come and see!

It's a miracle...of love

And that's the story of Christmas.
