    • It's only right, since this country is not even close to Christian.  Perhaps a sign from God?



    Reporter also mentions that the tree form two years ago had to be taken down because it was being killed off by some fungal disease.

    On the topic of Christmas Trees. Is there anything of substance to the claim that trees are a pagan practice? I understand the story of St Boniface and the evergreen supposed to represent eternal life but I do see some cultural appropriation there.

    • Christians should demand manger. 

    Post office should have stamps depicting the Nativity instead of just Madonna and child.

    Not sure, but even if it was, the Church has regularly appropriated and Christianized various pagan elements.
