I would have to agree. I celebrate yule and have since I was 13 or so. My wahine and I celebrate yule with each other now an have started our own traditions and mixed them with old traditions. We are 100% pagan.

With out violating the "no polyticin' & religion talk" on this board, I don't think i can say anything else.

I don't think explaining why pagans can appreciate aluminum trees constitutes religion talk. Nor does explaining the pagan origins of popular traditions. I'm continually asked at certain times of the year about such origins. It's gotten to where I just volunteer it. People seem to be fascinated about them.

For example, most people don't realize that Yuletide was originally a laundry detergent only used during Midwinter. :lol:

screwed up the BBCode
