Christmas trees South African style. They are definitely not the traditional European Christmas tree. Here are some Christmas trees with a South African twist. Remember also, that it is mid-summer here now.

Why do you feel the need to lecture Europeans on their Christmas traditions? If you don't like them, don't post in a Christmas thread. We like our Christmas traditions, heathen past or not: We don't care. It's nice, it's beautiful, it's tradition and the family meets around the tree to celebrate that special date!

By the way, the christmas tree - like other great traditions, such as the christmas market - has its roots in Germany. The first records of christmas trees - in Elsass (Alsace) and Baden - come from the 16th century.

The use of evergreen twigs or trees can´t be traced back to one specific culture or region. Indeed it often was a heathen costum.

However, the first records of something that can be considered as a real christmas tree come from christian backgrounds of the 16th centure. It certainly was inspired by heathens, but using green twigs and candles as a source of hope for the coming spring or to bring some life in the dark winter time is not pagan per se.

Indeed, it's a mixture. But there were common traditions amongst all Indo-Europeans (and natives) in Europe. For example, in Bulgaria we put all kinds of offerings and decorations with a certain symbolism on and around the trees during all kinds of pagan celebrations. I think that the look of the Christmas tree we know nowadays is rather commercialised and with pretty mixed symbolism.

Basically it is just a green tree with lights. You can fill that with all kinds of meanings or add all kinds of decoration either for fun or to express religious ideas. I wouldn´t become too dogmatic about this or that style of decoration and its meaning.

I think it is a nice thing for everyone to have in the dark winter time.

You have the same in the "Passover" meal, in which Jesus participated. Even the Lord´s Supper adds spiritual meaning to natural objects. Wine represents the blood of Jesus and bread his body. I don´t see a problem with it. The tree just brings light and life into the grey winter house. And in a sense this represents Christ´s birth into a hopeless world.
I can´t imagine that God would have a problem with Christians having that costum.

Christmas trees are evergreen conifers. Yes, they do exist in Israeli (juniper, cupressus sempervirens horizontalis, aleppo pine, lebanon cedar, etc). I am not saying that the christmas tree is a biblical costum. I am saying that adding symbolism to natural object is something that can be found in the bible.

Using a christmas tree doesn´t contradict anything that I read in the bible. The bible also doesn´t tell me to use electric light or toilet paper, yet I don´t think I do anything wrong when I use it. :D

I would rather say it has pagan origins. The christmas tree as we know it, with the type of decoration that we are used to, has developed only in the last centuries. On the other hand it is true that the original idea of having a decorated, evergreen tree is pagan. The use of the tree as we know it today is therefore a mix of pagan ideas and christian ideas.

So we have a tree with decoration, which in today´s form is a product of christian and pagan ideas. At this point it is neutral. You can fill it with whatever meaning you want. And that is what makes it either a christian or a pagan or even an atheist tree then.

And besides all that: duuh, it´s a tree with some added lights and colors, not a statue of a god. :D

The Christmas tree and the tendency for people to decorate with Christmas lights are two of my very favorite things about the holiday. :)

I also appreciate the aspect of European tradition and that Christmas trees called as such first started in Germany. It's one way for my American self to pay respect to an aspect of my own heritage:thumb001:

I understand your safety concerns, especially if one has a small child, poorly trained animals or simply not enough space.

About the second part, most American holiday decorations arent exactly to my liking, to put it nicely. Too much plastic and bright colours for me.

Maybe protestant areas are different. But here in Catholic Bavaria and Upper Austria the 'Bescherung' falls together with the first encounter with the decorated tree on Christmas Eve. Going into the living room where the tree stands is a taboo until Christmas Eve, only the one who decorates the tree is allowed to be in there.

Thats pretty much the same way we used to celebrate Christmas here up in the North but then my mom was raised a Catholic and coming to think of it, most of my friends where already visited by the "Weihnachtsmann" instead of the "Christkind". So maybe our way of celebrating was more southern than I am aware of.

As an agnostic, I am unsure of the truth of the Christmas story. However, IF shepherds were watching their flocks by night at the time of His birth, it did not occur in the winter. Shepherds watch their flocks by night during the lambing season, in the Spring.

Why, then, do Christians celebrate the birth of the Christ in the Winter ? Because many cultures already had a holiday at that time which could be adopted and Christianised. Long before the beginnings of Christianity, there had been celebrations of the Winter Solstice, when the Sun returns to the northern latitudes.

In northern Europe, this time was called Yule and was celebrated with feasting, the burning of the Yule log, gift giving, etc. One of the folk customs of the season was to set up a lighted and decorated tree. The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21. .

I celebrate Yule with a feast on December 25, close enough to the Solstice, so that my Christian guests can celebrate the birth of their Saviour while I celebrate Yule. I also have a lighted and decorated artificial tree, thus not wasting a live tree.

Djed Mraz as a Santa Claus figure is a Christian creation. Before reforms from the Russian Orthodox Church Djed Mraz was a malevolent child kidnapper. AFAIK, Communists only changed Djed Mraz in the Soviet Union where they changed his red suit to a Blue one and he carries a staff.

Yes I know. But it was the Orthodox Church that made him celebrated on new years and they were the ones who made him give out presents. Djed Bozicnjak is what Croatian called Djed Mraz because they viewed Djed Mraz as a Serbian communist figure during the Yugoslav Wars.

Maybe protestant areas are different. But here in Catholic Bavaria and Upper Austria the 'Bescherung' falls together with the first encounter with the decorated tree on Christmas Eve. Going into the living room where the tree stands is a taboo until Christmas Eve, only the one who decorates the tree is allowed to be in there.

We never ever have a Christmas tree before the 24th of December.
It gets decorated during the day according to tradition.

Yep, the same tradition here. Must be something exclusively Austrian and Bavarian when the other German regions have different traditions.

If it's not Bavarian,
it's not really Aryan!

Wirklich schön Grenzland, der Baum hat die richtige Form, also keine nackerten Stellen, und wurde traditionell geschmückt. :) Ich würd vielleicht noch ein paar Bienenwachskerzchen an die Zweige hängen, aber das ist Geschmackssache.

Das ist ja nicht direkt meiner sondern der unserer Burschenschaft. Deshalb auch schon jetzt geschmückt. ;)

Da einige meiner Bundesbrüder Hunde haben und die dann auch mitnehmen waren uns echte Kerzen zu gefährlich. Aber ich finde sie auch schöner. :)

Ich geb das Lob mal an mich und das restliche Schmückpersonal weiter. :D

I always go with a balsam fir as they grow native in my area.

I haven't taken a picture since I put it up and decorated it but here it is being dragged back to the house from yonder woodlands. :cool:
