- baby 4y agoDon’t you set up a tree and listen to Christmas music
- soperj 4y agoChristmas tree has it's roots in Pagan traditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule
- vorpalhex 4y agoThat is still religious.
- bialpio 4y agoDoing something that has religious roots doesn't automatically make it religious. The question is: what are you getting out of it? We're setting up a (now fake) tree during holidays, but treat it as tradition and a nice decoration for winter. Another example: Halloween.
- Teever 4y agoChristmas Trees are something coopted by Christianity and are pagan in origin. Also there's very little about baby Jesus in 'Here comes Santa Claus' or 'Frosty the Snowman'
- Hamuko 4y agoI mean, I hear Christmas music if I go outside, but I don't actively do it. And I can't remember the last time we've had a Christmas tree. To me, Christmas is mostly about giving gifts, eating (especially chocolates) and watching TV.
- baby 4y agoOh noes :( you should get a christmas tree next time!
- nindalf 4y agoPaying my respects to my ancestors doesn’t feel religious to me - those folks, maybe.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoGP's point is that you don't have to be superstitious to perform religious rituals. Many Japanese people are superstitious though, just not in the pray to a deity form that we are used to in the West.
