  2. friends

  i read someone's commment about the pagan origins of pretzels, which i didn't know.

  i'd like to share with my kids other items or customs that are also pagan in origin, like wedding rings and the wedding cake.

  i want them to see that christmas isn't the only tradition with roots in pagan religion that have changed meaning over the years.. any others out there?
