Harvest instead of Halloween?

[Mouse House Mama]

I'm well aware of the dangers around my children. There are some things that another pp stated that she let her children do that I would never in a million years.

Every parent has their own way and what may be OK for some isn't for another and vice versa. But some comments do come off as a little"high and mighty".

I think this sums it up exactly.

May I ask how Santa and Christmas measure into that? I know there is a Christmas TREE,

we do santa in our house and christmas along with winter solstice.
the tree issue is an issue among pagans. there are many different groups of pagans. some dating back in history did not cut down trees as would have been disruptive to the earth. others did and used the tree to honor the gods.

we have a fake tree, put us in which ever catagory youd like

interesting tidbit...jeremiah 10 1:16 tells christians not to cut down trees as it was the way of the heathen.
traditions change, theyre supposed to.

"Category?". You stated you studied religion, so I asked a question.

and i answered it, did i not

and i answered it, did i not

And so nicely. But that still didn't answer what "category" has to do with it. But no matter. To each their own.

Found a category!

youve completely lost me.

i said there were different things pagans did, you can put my family in either category.

I'm not really sure why you seem so snippy.

She just said that some pagans don't believe in cutting down trees and some do have Christmas trees. Since she has an artificial tree, she fits into either category.

Since this has gone way off track and straying into fighting and bickering I'm going to close the thread.
