For pagans, cutting a tree was a serious act, Nature was sacred, not to be destroyed willy-nilly. Cutting an entire tree and dragging it indoors for decoration is an absurd act.

Perhaps it was done precisely *because* it was sacred, an act of subjugation of pagan traditions?
Many other parts of Christmas like mistletoe and holly are directly appropriating pagan traditions. In fact, celebrating Christmas as a pagan festival and dropping the #FakeNews of “Jesus” may be the only authentic way to celebrate it.

China is very clear that Christmas is part of Western & Church imperialism. https://twitter.com/waynlane/status/1209576305328578562?s=21
Oh absolutely. Wish your Christian friends and be kind.

But Christianity itself has little love or mercy. It is a tale of unremitting genocide of the indigenous. https://twitter.com/akc12500/status/1209649862112731137?s=20
