Brainwashed – At Christmas?!

Sequined red Santa hat on table with rhinestone tiara sewn on.

I was working on a Christmas project today, two days before Christmas. It was a calendar and I was drawing simple pictures to represent the months of the year for 2024.
I got to December, and the first thing that came to mind was a Christmas Tree. We have lots of fun stories to give Christian meaning to candy canes, Christmas trees, bells, holly, and so much more. It is all fun, and yet too many arguments have been had over these things.
