How do I write this post without sounding like a complete grinch?
Christmas trees are ecologically irresponsible and have NO place in the "true" meaning of Christmas, if you actually believe in Jesus.
How's that? Too harsh?
Seriously though, WHY do you have a dead tree in your house right now? Ok, you have a fake one, well, WHY do you have a fake, probably imported from China, non-recyclable plastic tree in your house right now? You have had the same tree for years, you say? Ok, well, keeping this tradition creates this drive to make more plastic trees than can possibly be sold, so where do these left over plastic trees go after they have been shipped around trying to be sold? Yes, the dump.
I know I sound like a miserable bitch, but I am teaching AP Environmental Science and I don't think you really understand the mess we've created. Resources are dwindling, clean water, clean air, healthy food, and here we are worried about a TREE - dead or plastic - to put in our house for a few weeks and then forget. Yes, it's tradition, I get it, but it's time to change our traditions. It was once tradition to sacrifice virgins to the gods, but we learned that wasn't very responsible and changed our ways. This is NOT "their" problem, this is YOUR problem.
And don't get me started on wrapping paper, seriously, you just wrapped a present so that it could be torn open in 3 seconds and trashed...

You GO GIRL!!!
Everything about the "HELLADAYS" as I like to call them, suck! The energy of this holiday is completely forgotten. No one wants to dive into the underworld or darkside of their psyche this time of year.
Instead, "THEY" create helladays to ignore natures rhythm so the devious neysayers can hoodwink the stupid people into doing what ever they want. Like not voting, purchase all kinds of material crap, produce drug commercials and dumb us down even more....push up bras, tight clothes to cut off our lymphatic system so cancer can not exit our bodies!!!! OMFG....do not get me started!!!!!
If you want to learn anything about what the universal rhythm of what this time of years is asking of you, then read about it and be the change.
I am reading right now:
The Occult Christ,
Angelic Mysteries
and the Divine Feminine
by Ted Andrews
