Critics argue that the upside down tree is a corruption of the traditional, time honored method of tree displaythat is, trunk toward the ground. Proponents counter that its an ancient practice itselfone that was an integral part of early medieval Christmasesand that in the 1. Eastern Europe. The tree, they say, was positioned upside down to create a representation of the Trinity and mimic the shape of a crucifix.

SantaCon is an annual pub crawl in which people dressed in Santa Claus costumes or as other Christmas characters parade in several cities around the world.

But as with much of the early history of Christmas trees, even thats debatedand its possible that the Latvia story is a 1. Beyond that, many of the early references to Christmas trees are scattered most seem to be laws that made the trees illegal to curb illicit logging and to regulate which trees could be cut down.

Alsace, which is today part of France, limited a family to one pine in the length of eight shoes. Theres another reference that dates back to 1. Bremen the guild allowed children to shake a tree in order to dislodge treats like apples and nuts that had been placed in it. Around the internet, a popular tale traces the origin of the Christmas tree to St. Boniface in the 8th century. As the tale goes, Boniface supposedly saw pagans worshipping an oak tree. To stop them, he cut the tree down, and a fir grew in its place. Boniface used the shape of the treea triangleto represent the Trinity. According to some sources, Boniface hung the tree upside down. Some people use the story to argue that the Christmas tree is much older than the 1. But according to the 8th century bishop Willibald, whose tome The Life of Saint Boniface is the main source on the Saints life, this tale is mostly a myth. Written just a few years after Bonifaces death, The Life of Saint Boniface discusses the oak but never the fir, saying that when Boniface cut the oak down, it burst asunder into four parts, each part having a trunk of equal length. At the sight of this extraordinary spectacle the heathens who had been cursing ceased to revile and began, on the contrary, to believe and bless the Lord. Boniface then built an oratory from the timber. Theres no mention of a fir tree, either upside down or right side up. Boniface isnt the only theory for the origin of upside down Christmas trees Another says that an inverted tree is a Central and Eastern European tradition dating back to the 1. But according to the Polish Art Center, before Christmas trees became popular in Poland in the 1. There is some historical precedent for hanging entire trees from the ceiling, however. In his book Inventing the Christmas Tree, Bernd Brunner includes an illustration of a hanging tree from the 1. But its hanging with the trunk facing the ground, not upside down with the tip facing the floor. In the small common rooms of the lower classes, Brenner explains, there was simply no space for a tree on the ground. Hanging trees may have emerged because it was a convenient way to have a small Christmas tree without it being in the way, with the added bonus that it kept any treats that were on the tree away from children. Brunner also mentions that trees were occasionally hung upside down to protect the household, but that practice doesnt seem to have been widespread. So what did hanging trees in Brunner theorizes that it was partly due to rafters giving way to the rise of plastered ceilings. The most they could bear was perhaps an Advent wreath or a wooden frame with candles, he writes. BACK TO THE UPSIDE DOWNRecently, however, hanging trees have made a comeback. The trend seems to have started in retail stores, and the goal is the same as it was in the 1. By having a tree upside down, youre taking a very small footprint on the floor, and youre placing all the ornaments at eye level, Dan Loughman, vice president of product development at Roman Incorporated, told NPR in 2. And then the retailers can move their store products around the bottom of the tree or on shelves, you know, just behind it. That year, store owners reported bewildered responses to the inverted trees, but the trend hung on, and in 2. As Loughman said in 2. I think consumers go into retail stores to buy ornaments, and they buy their trim andto get a certain look. Whatever they see in the store they want to replicate at home.

Jesus Christ, matching the many attributes of Jesus Christ with Santa ClausThere are too many direct matches for this creation of Santa Claus to have been. We are told in Job 1 6 7 that Satan walks up and. Earth, as if it were a small garden plot completely under his domination. Satan can be thought of as a Master Marionette, pulling the strings on Earth. Certainly, in these Last Days, Satan would have wanted someone else to draw. Jesus Christ. But, not only that, Satan would have wanted to infect children early with that. The creation and promotion of Santa Claus certainly fulfills all these goals. Remember that one of Jesus End Times prophecy was that the hearts of the people would have become extremely cold to Him. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 2.

Doesnt this prophecy perfectly describe our society today Children are being taught, at a very early age, to love material possessions, to try to get as many presents as possible, and to love themselves greatly, all as a result in believing this pagan myth of Santa Claus.

While. there is no harm in exchanging gifts, you certainly should teach your children. And, you should definitely teach.

Young children believe both statements are true. But, when the time comes in. Santa is NOT real, they. Jesus, even though you cannot see. Him.
