ps..I like the part about how it used to be considered bad luck to put the tree up before the 24th of Dec. I always wondered why Mom did that. I was always jealous of the kids that had their's up earlier...
Hmm..... I wonder if it is really wrong to celebrate a Solstice?
I mean it was created by God.....right?
Pagan I know the lights are pretty, but try not to look at them, they are pagan. Satan loves it when you look at them. Just look at the back of the front seat, or close your eyes, so you don't see them.
To anyone thinking it's bad luck to set up the Christmas tree before December 24, that only applies if you use candles or lights that can get very hot. If you set the natural tree up too early and allow it to dry up, the needles can catch fire and burn your house down. I would say that would count as "bad luck".
You do not need to worry about that if you use LED lights (they are extremely cool burning), ultra miniature lights (they do not get hot enough to start a fire, but they can get warm), or an artificial tree. You can also prevent this "bad luck" if you keep the tree cool and watered, so the needles cannot dry out. Just one reminder: Unless your tree is one of those Norfolk Island pines that is in the pot, you cannot leave a cut tree up all summer long like you can an artificial tree.
