Yeah they made St.Nikolaus a fat, red man

It seems the more as time goes Christmas is less spiritual and more about presents and Santa.

I think there is a reason why through companies and media, but that is another story

Yes that’s true.

Welp Christmas is pretty spiritual

That's why we have a tree

In the end it is still each person's choice, but I think the shift in media and corporate culture has contributed to people losing interest in their soul

To ward off evil spirits

Excuse me but what the hell does a tree have to do with spirits?

The Christmas tree is like the Jack-o-lantern of christmas

I just thought those were used for decorations

nopeeeee

In reality europeans arent naturally christians nor any other abrahamic religion. it is an outsider religion imposed on them.

A tree is not inherently evil it’s how it is used.

wat

no

The tree wards off evil

Oh okay

If a tree is able to stop evil spirits then those spirits suck

Well what about a pumpkin?

Decoration for the event

The one who really can stop all evil spirits is Yeshua.

Who?

Yeshua Hebrew for Jesus.

it has a deeper meaning than that

It was originally used for all hallow's eve

neat

GG @rorschach, you just advanced to level 10!

No i'm pretty sure people make jack o lanterns cause it looks nice considering the event these days

A time of year where spirits would sometimes slip into the mortal relm

Jack-o-lanterns were used for that

Plus they were in-season at the time

Oh boi I have a sermon over Halloween and the history behind it the truth might shock you. https://youtu.be/czJWJQQYqJY

Well i don't think people make jack o lanterns these days to ward off the spirits

GG @Steve The Man האיש, you just advanced to level 3!

I think they just use it as decorations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lantern

Don't argue with wikipedia

I really don't think people actually use jack o lanterns to defend against spirits these days

True, but that is how the tradition came to be

Okay then what the hell are we arguing about?
