Christmas trees don't have to be green, or plants for that matter:



O Tesla Tree, O Tesla Tree,
Your branches electrocute us!

Catholicism

Three Kings Celebration

December 25th was originally a date around which celebrations of the light and the passing of the year were celebrated in old Europe. The Catholic church at the time chose the 25th to impose their celebration over the other celebrations in fashion.

My dad was raised as a Catholic. I was Christian until my 15th.
